well this is what i did over my weekend they are 16 gauge steel and use the same 3 mounting points plus riveted to the quarter panel and the leds are top is parking/marker and stop and the bottom is turn. i made thesemy self for about 100 bucks with paint but i could bring it down i price if i could get the steel cheaper here are pics. there is no welding i just used black rtv to seal up the corners but could get them welded if i can get a welder soon.

I would if I had the extra cash. They look cool, good job

thanks i would like to work on rounding the top corner bc they look kinda weird

Corners look a bit sharp and I'd weld them. Price is about average for them so they'd prob sell. Deff want to make them follow the body lines better.

I'd buy em if they were welded.

Not bad. I have the thor panels. triple the price but the finish is great and they are full panels. I do have a question however. How did you wire the lights? I dont know how to wire the red oval light to work as a light/turn signal/stop and use a white round light as a backup light. What did you do for a reverse light ? Right now the only way I was able to work it out is to have the bottom light be the turn signal, thus not having a backup light. Thanks

i am going to mount and rigid led spot light above the licence plate if i really want to spend the 100 dollars to get one that is my plan. i would like to make another pair and see if i can get them to at least follow the body line on the out side with the top corner and weld them but i need to get a welder or sneak them to work and do them there.

and the only way a cop is going to know you don't have backup lights is if he sees you backing up

for the top i used as marker and brake the orangeish red wire for brake and one of the black ones for marker and then one wire for the turn it was really easy just play around with the wires you may pop a fuse or 2 but it works

Yeah I know, I am not worried about the cops. I didnt much care that I dont have them but I quickly changed my mind when I try to back out of my long driveway in the middle of the night with my wife's car on one side and the house on the other. Also sometimes it takes forever t back out of a parking spot because nobody knows that I am trying to back up and let me go without seing the backup lights on. I think there is a way to wire the top light through the trailer light cables to work as a running/stop/turn.

I wouldn't. I don't like the look. The XJ is made to be boxy and square-like. Round just doesn't seem to fit.
