Permalink  

Well I got bored at work and Backwoods Customs work wasnt holding up on my tail so i made some out of basicly semi parts.  I used 4 in. lights and 20 guage sheet metal.  I need to add some 2 in side light to be comepletely legal.

Thanks it took soem tiem to figure out what to do about the tail/brake/turn lights.  Well XJ's have individual wires for each brake/turn/tail lights. So I hadto do some thinking.

Umm not sure, technically in Ohio you don't need the side marker. You are allowed to show light to the side but arent required.


I havent really thought about selling.  I could tell you how I made them.  Next time I will use a lil bit thicker metal.  Also I would try to find a 4 1/4 or 4 3/8 hole saw to make the holes alot nicer.  And the lights get kind of expensive $4 for each red light and $8 for the white and about $2 a seal. So like $30 in lights, and I found the metal for liek 8 bucks a lil sheet and I use two sheets.  Just get at me if you really want them Jason

Yeah, I'd like a set before I bash my current stock set.
I see similar sets sell online for $150, but that's more than I've ever spent for any part on my rig - let alone friggin taillights. Let me know what you want for a set with your labor included.

Well the LED tails are some times tricky since LEDs acquire less voltage and amperage to run so the jeep thinks a tail is burnt.  Mine are bright and the back up lights help alot
