Tailights

[tan's2002kjlimited]

I couldn't help myself. I don't really car for the BIG red tailights on an all
black LTD. And Ebay is such a happy place. So I bought some of these.
I'll post pics as soon as I get and install them. I think $22.00 to send
a 4# package is a **** job, though.(censored)

Another thing, whats the difference between tailights
for an 02-05 and 06-07?

I think just color, 05-07 are a little bit darker red...as far as I know that's it.

Dunno, but take this into consideration....

Only real difference I know of is that on the '05 and later the turn signal lens is clear, not amber (uses an amber tinted bulb).

Yup. The link Marlon posted is a thread that shows my change from 04 to 05-06 lights. I had a cracked LH taillight and replaced both with 05-06 from the Junk Yard. Installation went good but I didn't have a Amber light bulb so I was running clear turn signals for the longest time. Boy was the turn signal bright and blinded those behind me. I quickly turned it to an Amber bulb.

If you look at the pic the top lens is all red,
so I'm thinking I'll have red turn signals.idea.gif

I don't know if you can see it in this pic, I'll have to get a better one later but I changed my turn signal bulbs from orange to red. Now my blinkers are red just like the brake lights.....not much, but something different for just a few bucks...

Heath, that'll work only with the 05+

I was planning to get one of those sabresport ones. The euro taillights.
If it is any help, I bought front clear turn signals from "SabreSport" on ebay, and loved the service, they are fast and honest people.

I saw a few KJs with euro tails, some of them look very ugly. Those are the ones that had chrome sides, or the ones with altezza sides. The only good ones are the all-black sides. I think the one in the picture.

I may need to get the black ABS tailamp guards to cover the clear (white) outside edges.

They didn't put Limited on the back of the '02s. Someone put that there. To make this situation even better, that's an '05+ Limited badge too, LOL.

I'll have to confess, it was me. I like the look and am proud of my girl!
I'm Going to get an '05 trail rated badge too.

I don't get it. Why does it look all whitish and shiny? All I am asking for is a black housing with all red lights/blinkers.. Is that so hard? Why does it look that way?

I know. That's what I wanted too. Only thing I can think to do
is spring for another $75 and get these:

To cover the white edges. Then they'll be the way I want it to look.

What did you do with the stock tails, can I get them?
Thanks.
