I know it's pretty annoying. I would love to score a set of euro's frmo ebay for cheap, but they all seem to be around $70. And all I'm going to do is destroy it? F that.

They were very cheap in Japan, The shipping was pricey, I think it came out to just over $50 for the pair.
$52 aint bad though, back in the summer when I was buying parts from the UK that would have been $70.
Check yahoo japan auctions, you would probably find some cheap there. I will also check into the guy i got them from before.

OK. I think more of us need to start emailing ANZO. They, honestly, make the cleanest oem
red/clear tail lights out there. Just have a look for yourselves. Their stuff is factory clean:

I'm not getting anywhere by myself. I need everyone's help:
- Email [email protected] and/or [email protected]
- Ask for a set of red/clear led tail lights for your Cherokee
- Remind them it's not a GRAND Cherokee

Oh, I thought by the way you said "hideous things" you meant the other type.

I don't need stockers, I got rid of those years ago.
Im running Formatt Fab tails...There is a slight crack on one of the corners, and I want $150 shipped for them.

Holy hell $150 shipped?! I could just get a pair of crappy ebay ones for half that. All I need are the clear lenses to do a little R&D with. Thanks but no thanks.
I apologize beforehand for being rude, but I wouldn't take a set of those tail lights for half that. Heck, I wouldn't take a set for free. IMO, nothing ruins a clean Cherokee build like a set of those tails. Simply put, they look bad on ebay, but they're simply barftastic installed.
Aside from getting a set of LEDS made for us than I would suggest a set of tails off a European XJ... than do a DIY Mercedes tail tint... like this:

Here's another example.... it's a very light tint (so it's perfectly safe for daytime driving)

Sorry maybe I need to be a little more clear on my intentions. What I want to do, is take a stock pair of cherokee tails, rip the lense off, build the boards inside and vacuum a clean chrome shroud for them, dye the clear lense red (all except reverse portion, that could be bead blasted) and then put the clear lense on the sotck pair. Looks stock, no diffusion.
Of course, that's all in a nutshell. I would have to find the appropriate dye for the plastic that the lens is made out of, build heatsinks for the boards, make new pigtails for the bulb holders, get a new flasher relay, send out the shrouds for "chroming".
Basically everything you did UrbanYan for your parking lights, but for the rear. Only I would rather keep the lens red.

Well that's just crazy... and I know crazy lol.
I was seriously thinking of getting my buddy to convert my current tails. The plus: they're pretty close to our OEM tails, and their texture would save time covering the LED boards with ABS plastic. The minus: My friend hates working with LEDs, it takes forever for him to hammer out a set, and most importantly... they don't make these tails anymore so if he breaks them I'm done-for. Mind you, If I knew they still make these tails than I would definitely take the risk with another custom retro.
