Default A nice alternative to side markers

Like many of you the one thing I wasn't crazy about on my xk8 exterior was those wonky Amber side marker lens/lights. I was considering doing the clear lens which is a big improvement. Then I found these on eBay and I love them. They were a bit pricey @ $65 per side but they are very well made. Actually they are packaged Jaguar. What I really liked was the side marker harness clips to the back side so you don't have to leave the harness dangling inside the fender well.

I don't have the vendors info handy but if anyone is interested let me know and I will dig it up.

Cheers!

Andrew

Those are the old badges used on the older xk8's. I think they were used in the US from 1997-2000.

The updated clear markers can be purchased for less than $15 shipped. They are a ford part

I went with the red leaper badges on my 2004 but also moved the turn signals up to the front corners like this:



The how-to is here

Yes, I just got mine about 2 weeks ago from this seller. Fast shipping to Miami.

Identical to stock units, just clear. Even comes with bulbs!
