One more question. For you guys with the lights. Is the clear lens smooth. I was looking on sticker city.com at tints. I have yellow but thinking of getting smoke color to match my turn markers

 

Had these on for a few months...look good but noticed after a car wash they get ALOT of condensation...wet....my rear red ones are hard to get out...in fact, theyre falling apart! @ gragner66...they are smooth...
All in all I like them...might take them out to see if I can seal them some how...I might get them for the rear and put in red bulbs...good idea

 

I saw the one's on Ebay all well and good but the only chrome I have on the whole outside of the car is my leaper...I've gone the other route and ordered the tinted film for your tail lights you have to heat shrink it to fit but at least then I'll keep it blacked out.

 

What kind or tint are you using. I have a sport as well and been looking at the tints on stickercity.com. Can you post some pics of yours

 

I've ordered a sheet of tint from "xenon-hid-world" according to their instructions this is heatable to allow for the edges on the lights, not to mention that it was only $10 if it doesn't work I'm not out alot. I did have some leftover tint from the windows on my work truck and stuck it on to see what it looks like. WOW at night it's all black, during the day you can see a little of the red and orange. but it still looks good. unfortunately right now I can't take any pics of it my wife took my jag to school for the quarter, I'll get it back in about 2 weeks, for now I'm stuck driving her honda.

 

I'm planning on picking up a pair of amber & red LED's from V-LEDS.COM | LED Dome, Map, License Plate, Reverse, DRL, Turn Signal, Brake Lights. Great product and prices.

 

Cheers mate! You are a gentleman and a scholar.

 

Mine arived today and it tool just minutes to install them. Rather than trim the original connector to fit, I used the original bulb holder and the new 'O' ring. Went together with no problems.

Cheers,

Bruce

 

I'd say those are the cats pajamas, Bruce. Look great. And, I have good friends in Burnaby. Grew up in Olympia myself. Love it up there.

 

Soooo...I installed them front and back and even though I don't have the chrome bumper strips I think they look pretty good and go with the clear side indicators on the wings. Pictures are pretty crappy but i'll snap some in the daylight and when kitty is clean.

Here's the kicker. When i took out the old lights, three of the four were MELTED. The bulb holders showed no signs of heat but those little 194's had given off enough heat to melt the plastic. The right rear actually melted right through and broke on the way out. Anyone need just the lens? Right now I'm not going to put 194's back in as the clear lights are not the quality of the OEM.

 

man these look so much better, i just dont wanna pay $120

 

I actually need a Passenger side rear lense if anybody is willing to sell one???

 

PM sent

 

This is an update for those of you who have color matched molding not chrome. I didn't want to put the clear lights with chrome backing on my all black x, I ordered a film off ebay (I can get the seller info if anyone wants) its not like standard tint after putting it on you heat the edges to wrap the lights completely and it looks great, glossy and light still comes through. I plan on replacing the bulbs with LED's which will help too. The film comes in 12 colors if your interested this is the dark smoke color and for $10 I'm sold. I'm posting a before and after pic so you can see.

 

Tight.

 

Would be very interested in the ebay site...
Also to be clear, you tinted over the OEM colored lights

BTW: Looks great

yes id like to know too, what other colors are offered?

 

Ok so first yes the fild went over the factory marker lenses, you can see the color through the tint but its dim(I got the dark black color), thats why I'm going to get LED's. Second the seller that had 12 colors available is no longer selling other than smoke tint. The seller that I got this tint from has 7 colors (joohnkoo) (light black, dark black, golden yellow, green, red, blue, clear) its very easy to put on all 6 marker lights took me about an hour, I used a heat gun for the edges and razor to cut off the extra, nice tight fit and for $7 I got a 4ft by 1ft piece so I had loads extra in case I screwed it up. It does say it can be used for the taillights and headlights too, I might do the taillights but I'm leaving the headlights alone. This is not like standard window tint its more like that protective plastic layer that comes on the screen of a new cell phone.(very thick) but for $7 its hard to beat. Also it does come from Singapore but it came pretty quick maybe 10 days, I did try to find someone in the US selling this but all were very expensive or it didn't say you could heat and strech to fit. One last thing, if you don't have a heat gun you can you a torch or lighter just be careful it will burn and the plastic gets hot.

 

Thanks for the info!!

 

Does anyone know if they fit a 2007 XJ8? I really like the look of them.
