HI, I recently picked up this nice little 98. Not enamored with the "tractor" taillights. Does anyone have any info on them, I can't find anything. Thanks.

 

Sold by Arden

and here's a thread with some info

I bet you could sell those easily enough and get originals. Those were a pricey "upgrade".

 

Are there any other Arden bits on your car? Just wondering as you cannot see the front end.

 

Spoiler is not Jaguar but not Arden either. Not sure who makes it but this place sells it.

Thanks for the info guys. I don't notice any differences on the front end other than the fog lights seem different than my 01 which is at home, they have a white button in the center. The fender side emblems have been replaced with lights that flash with the turn signals. And the mirrors are chromed. The console shift plate is also chrome. Are the gauge bezel rims origionally chromed? How about the trunk piece above the license, was it painted on a 98? and was there not a trunk push button on that model?

 

Chillyphilly; Are you on I 15? I will be driving this car home in about a month and going that way.

 

No I'm not. Other side of the state on I 84 in Boise. Would have been fun to see your new toy though!

 

Thomasso, no my 98 has no chrome gate or guages. John
