Anyone have a picture of the taillights off of a new cherokee on a 84-96? Someone on here posted a picture and actually an ebay link not too long ago but for the life of me I can't find it. if you got the link to that post that would be even better, thanks guys

Also how you think the new taillights tinted black would look on my xj? Im liking the idea but just looking for some other opinions

you know the newer style ones are rounded instead of boxy right? i feel like it wouldn't look right at all with the boxy hatch and a bubbly taillight box

Yeah I know they're rounded, but when I seen them in the picture I saw they looked pretty sick. And for the price they were I was willing to take the risk and if I don't like them it won't be too big of a loss

You sure they will even fit? It seems to me that the 97+ taillights are taller then the pre 97's. Plus unless you change over the rear hatch I cant imagine it will look right

x2 youll have to change your hatch but the new hatches have different hinges so that'll take some work to engineer new hinges on your jeep, a lot of work for taillights, but hey if you can do it more power to you man lol

No no no, I'm not talking about putting 97+ on my xj, I'm talking about the lights off the jeep 2500 sold overseas, that's why I said new lol. And yes they will fit, the 2500's have the hatch like the 84-96 and they bolt right up. Someone on here posted a picture of their jeep with them on it a week or so ago.

Ah a little clarification. . . .that helps. Yeah those will fit, I'm not a fan of the bulges but its your Jeep. I think tinting the stock tails is a better choice, cleaner
