97+ XJ taillight install

[ExpatMJGuy]

To each their own.  I don't mind the 97+ XJ lights but wouldn't want to do the metal work to accomplish it.  But I'm one of the ones that think that the wrangler taillights are sacrilegious.  The direct on from the back looks awesome and then once you get to the side of the vehicle and that's where you lost me.  You can tell all you did is cut the original lenses and used a can of Krylon paint, painted them black the original lenses black, glued it together and called it a day.  It looks cheap.  (And it is.)  And that's fine.  But everyone has different objectives with their cars.  Not as big of a deal if it's a trail buggy.  But with dwindling numbers of a vehicle that never had a high production number to begin with this isn't kosher for a proper restoration and the direction many are headed.
