Any of you guys that replaced the fender badges willing to part with one (or both) of them? Looking for a 1999-2003 left front fender badge (the little leaper)m specifically. PM me with price, etc. Thanks!

Hi, everyone. Here was what I did and my story
I just purchased a pair of side-markers(amber) from a UK seller on ebay and he threw me with the wire/plug/harness free.what a nice man.
as the forum mentioned, one side was pre-wired so all you need is to take off your side emblem and plug it in the side-marker. yes. that is it
on another side, you need to run the wire to power the bulb plug. Any one with basic auto-mechanic knowledge can do it in less than 5 minutes. well, I did not so my buddy it for me.
(I changed the bulbs to LEDs)
I think the side markers are very functional for safety matter and looks great and clean.
comparing to all other Jaguar issue, even I would say that was a piece of cake
I have one side of wire/plug left, whoever wants it just let me know, you just need to get your own side-markers.
thank you
Vincent

Courtesy of some creative wiring, mine function as running lights *and* turn signal repeaters.
They come on with the side markers but flash if the turn signal is activated. *All* the markers on one side will flash for turns.

The factory orange ones have a metal clip.
Why not do the orange ones. They will match the orange front side markers and turn signals.
The orange would look nice on a black car.
The factory ones can be found regularly on ebay.co.uk if you search on "jaguar xj8 side repeater". They are different on each side in that the tiny molded letters will be upside down on one side if you mount two of the same with the clips in the right position.
Buy new ones as they come with the bulb holder and new bulb.
Make sure you use a seller that is willing to ship to the US. Since this is only an appearance item you can use the cheapest shipping option to save money.
You can also just plug the number in at one of the sponsoring dealers online sites and buy them in the US.
