A little dazzle for my '99 XK8
Hi All, just wanted to give an endorsement to one of the vendors offered on this site; XK's Unlimited.
Love the looks of the XK8. Needs a bit more dazzle. Rear a bit stark. Guess it is why factory added a bit of chrome around tail lamps in later years.
I ordered front headlamp, rear tail lamp and side marker lamp chrome accent bezels from XK's Unlimited from the free catalog they sent.
Installed front, rear ( side markers on back order https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/i...cons/icon9.gif ). Love the look. Just the accent needed.
Thanks to all for the fantastic advise offered.

The chrome is a lot wider than the OE Jaguar tail lamps but I think the XK's Unlimited version looks better.

The chrome plinth on the XK8 against the colour coded one on the XKR also makes a big difference to the appearance.

I didn't think I'd like it, but that looks quite nice!

Thank you Jon, XK's unlimited has both wide as shown and narrow version very much like factory. I thought a little more dazzle was needed and chose the wide ones. I have to say they do look sharp in person/ Thanks again Rich
