Side Marker Lights
Hello all,
As I noted in my previous thread, I bought my X w/ a few issues.
One of them being the lights.
Passenger side headlight was out & front driver's side sidemarker was missing.
Luckily, the wiring socket & bulb for the sidemarker were intact & functional.
So after searching Jagforums, I easily found some threads regarding the headlight & it was a breeze to replace. Then instead of replacing the stock orange side marker, I opted for a complete set of clears that I found on ebay.
This was a very inexpensive and subtle upgrade. For me, it really enhances the chrome bumperstrips & the side turn signals make it all match.
The total cost was under $100.oo and well under an hour to change. The only tool needed was a pocketknife used to push the markers forward on the light's spring to remove.
Hope you enjoy the pics,
Chris

Two things.
1. You need red bulbs for the rear marker lights to stay street legal.
2. Try to find the chrome bulbs. That way you will lose the fried egg look. They are on ebay for around $10 s pair.
