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:thumbsup: 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?

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 :tt2:

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.

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.
