Bhfear Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hey I am going to be doing a restoration on my 89 and would like the original roll bar Lights, Does anyone have any info on them/brand/ etc, and obviously brand meaning who made them for chrysler, I have a set on there now, and they appear to have an oem style plug on them, and what appears to be like a batman head if that makes any since at all lol.

Bhfear Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 I found these online with a part number of 82200244 are these correct to an MJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Those look pretty good. I'd buy em if the price is right. Probably about as close as you'll get to factory originals anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Not sure if this helps or not but these look pretty damn close to what was on my 87 rollbar from what I remember. Although, that was about 15 yrs ago. Memory gets fuzzy after 5. http://www.autopartsdeal.com/catalog/?N ... +Fog+Light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleag89 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Those ones you found on Ebay look really nice. It comes with a factory switch and looks to be decent wiring. Almost every light kit Ive seen comes with a junk wiring harness, which leaves me to make my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 shortbed Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The lights you describe on the rollbar now with the "batman head" are orignal equip. Early xjs had the same lights on the front bumper as a option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCARENA Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The batman shape is really a cats head, they are made by Marcel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The batman shape is really a cats head, they are made by Marcel. Close. They are the original French Marchal lights. Good quality lights. When the supply started drying up, AMC Jeep went with a similar looking light mfg. in the US, with the lens stamped ROL. These were pure junk, rusted out quickly and are mostly gone now. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good quality lights. When the supply started drying up, AMC Jeep went with a similar looking light mfg. in the US, with the lens stamped ROL. These were pure junk, rusted out quickly and are mostly gone now. :cheers: I was the proud owner of both lights. My truck came with ROL lights from the factory on the front bumper. My truck didnt come with lighs on the roll bar. Don is right about the ROL lights. The truck had pretty low miles yet the ROL lights rotted away on the inside. I found a set of 850 Marchals and replaced them. I like them a lot but I don't use them much. There are two models of Marchals that were on Jeeps if I recall correctly. The Marchal 750 and 850. I think the 750 is closer in size to the ROL lights and the 850 is slightly larger. 850 was used on the FSJ's. According to my factory parts manual from '87 - '90, only ROL lights are listed as factory parts on the front bumper. Marchals are listed in the accessories catalog. But I don't know if that means anything. So you have two choices with those crappy bathead fog lights. Tear them down and take care of them. Then get some covers for them or sell them to me. Here are 850's on my '87. They are a little crooked so ignore that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glundblad Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 BTW, I think it is illegal for you to remove those factory Marchals and replace them with cheap "Jeep" aftermarkets. :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhfear Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Wow you guys are great. I never would have guessed my lights are correct to the jeep almost 20 yrs later. And they are really bright also I just figured they were replaced at some point. Thanks again for the fast replys. Now I just need to find some nos covers. Now next question did they come with plastic or vnyl covers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhfear Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Light Covers 1? Option 2 Or Is it this style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STERLING STINGER Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I found these online with a part number of 82200244 are these correct to an MJ where did you look those up at? I'm just curious on the price thanks paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glundblad Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 They were plastic and from what I can tell, they were white similar to mine. I may be wrong but I am basing it on a line drawing I have seen on an accessories catalog. The last example cover you show is for the ROL lights. If they fit the Marchals, it would be pure luck. I believe they have NOS 750 covers on ebay every so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those were Dick Cepacs or something like that. They were significantly larger than the foglights, and they had a very different light distribution pattern.

Eagle Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Correction - I wrote that the original rollbar lights were Dick Cepac. Brain fade -- they were KC Hi-Liters, a.k.a. 69 Series. http://www.kchilites.com/lights/69-seri ... ng-black-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
