Default Rear Brake Light Covers

I've been looking for these for the newer style Cherokee for a while now, but no luck. It's basically a bar guard for the tail lights:



This is a picture of a Cherokee from someone on the forums, just don't remember who.

Anyone know where you can buy something like this? I'm not great at fab. I Googled for a while and only found them for older body style Cherokees or Grand Cherokees.

Kinda. But that is the old brake light style. I have a 99, so the style would be different. That's what I'm trying to find and was wondering if anyone has ever found them.

not good to use the gage ones, they'll dent the quarter panels if they are struck- way more $ to fix then a easily found cheap light.

What if you have cut and fold rear quarters? Or is it the light housing that your talking about?

I've seen the damages in person over the years, if you care at all about your quarter panels don't put the metal gage ones on. It will be cheaper and easier to replace a broken light. If the hit/crash is hard enough then there is nothing short of a exo cage that will stop the damage to lights and quarter panels.

Same applies for cut and folded panels...
