Hey guys I'm new to the mj's but I've had a ton(close to ten by my quick head count) xjs and I'm blown away by how hard it is to find tail lights and when you find a set their worth their weight in gold. So i decided I'm gonna make a set. Whos done this and please i wanna see some pics for inspiration i have a set of these in the shed might just make a box of em abd see how i like em

 

Well as you can see i didnt get much of a reply but here's what i ended up with. I had some scrap sheet metal and a couple trailer lights so instead of paying $100+ for used plastic covers i did this in about 2hrs

 

Those look pretty good.


What are you doing about a reverse light?

Ya i could have done a better job but it was getting dark and i still had to go to the store lol. So its a quick scab in skin for the lights but atlease tge nice and bright

 

Nice work!

No way to fit 84-96 XJ taillights in?

 

Not without a decent about of body work i was already planning that when i first looked at the truck (the only thing he didnt tell me about was the broken tail light) and saw it was broke because i have 2 sets of xj housings. But now i have a good drive side tail light housing for the mj i can sell and maybe stroke the 4.0 in the mance with what i get for it

 

looks great!
Those little marker lights from Walmart will do in a pinch for turn signals

Great job man looks great. My lights do it all but backup lights which i plan in putting those in the bumper but for now im gonna do the sticky back l.e.d. strip on my stock bumper.

 

nice job. same basic finish i'm shooting for if i ever get time to start cutting and welding mine up... Mine will be recessed just a little bit... i'll have some pics in my build thread when i get to it

 

Hey warpath are those littke white lights bright eniugh for reverse lights.i cant find the BRIGHT sticky leds i was gonna use and those little ones will fit in my new housings

 

Nah their not bright enough to back by, especially if your tinted like me. If I were you I'd take a 3-4" hole saw to each side of your stock bumper and add the cheapo Walmart lights flush mounted. It looks great, and is very bright.
