Re: Working XJ side markers....
I'll look at my 93 XJ and see if I can find anything to help you out in the
next day or so. Can you answer me a question though about UK Jeep vehicles?
Do you have yellow rear-facing lenses that are meant to be severe weather
lights or simply rear fog lights? I saw a YJ or TJ in the first Jurassic
Park movie that had yellows on full time facing the rear and wondered what
for. Then I owned a Ford (Mercury) Cougar and saw people selling the UK
rear lenses for them that included the yellow portion. They wired them as
turn signals but after fooling with the headlamp wiring I managed to
illuminate the rear fog lamp indicator on the dash.
If I can get new lenses for my TJ with yellow in them that would be pretty
neat.

Re: Working XJ side markers....
The only rear-facing amber lenses on the Jeeps I've seen over here are the
indicators (turn signals). I'll post your question to the JeepClub.co.uk
forum tomorrow and see if anyone has any answers: some members drive Jeeps
that they've imported from the US themselves.

Re: Working XJ side markers....

This was the answer I got:
"I assume this is someone in the US, but what he needs is a pair of European
spec tail lamp clusters for a TJ. The European lenses might fit the US
lamps, but would still need an extra bulbholder anyway. It might be simpler
to get the whole thing and make up a hybrid lamp assembly out of the two
types. Euro lamps do not include a license plate lamp, and they also do not
have a red side marker, and I would guess that both these are required by
law in the US. As European spec TJs are built in the US, there should be no
problem walking into a US Jeep dealer and ordering the European lamps, I
have no problem getting US spec lamps in the UK. "
Hope this helps.
