I recently become interested in replacing the stock yellow side marker lights on my 2005 STR. I have been doing some research but it seems there arent many options out there. Was hoping someone who has purchased these in the past could shoot me a link or store name where i can find these for a reasonable price. Any help is much appreciated!

 

Mina Gallery...

They offer significant discounts for jaguarforums members.

 

$80 for a pair of plastic side marker lenses?** I've bought cars for less!

** Yes, I did see the crazy $750 Jaguar price

 

Call them and tell them you are a member of this forum and they won't be that much anymore

 

Ahh, good to know will be in contact with them.
Thanks for the tip guys.

 

Not only will Mina Gallery lower their price for members of this forum but they also throw in freebies. Ask them to toss in an "R" keychain - I bet they will (or at least valve stem caps).

 

Cool, sounds good!

 

Anyone know how to replace these? Do the OEM ones just pop out?

 

They do just clip in.

There is a sort of hook on one end and a plastic spring clip on the other. You can slide something thin and plastic like a credit card behind it to squeeze the clip.

 

Mina Gallery is where I have seen them pretty reasonable, I just ordered the lower mesh assembly.....Didn't know about the forum discount or freebies for being a member....Wonder if its too late to ask.

 

If you don't ask, you definitely won't get it

 

I painted all the side markers/lights. Blacked them out to match the paint and then cleared over it.

 

ebay has them for about $45. Just an option.

 

Digital,

Periodically pop out the lights and check the bulb housing. They look great painted however, the paint traps in heat and can melt bulb housings a/o wire harness. Sounds like a longshot, I thought the same thing until I melted a bulb in the housing!!! just something to keep in mind. Nice ride btw
