that is a url for jeep cherokee turn lights that I read up on in here from someone who has used those lights for accords turnsignal lights. U'm I forgot which thread it was but looking around and your shure to find it as I'm gettin way more out of this site than others. Good threads and archived well also.

But now remember you can make anything you want when it comes to turnsignals you just got to know what your doing.

Just get the 88-89 bumper. That'll enhance the appearance of your ride, man.

Not really...on the 88-89, there's two screws on the very bottom, one in each of the light pull-out thingys, and 12 on the top (there's two under each sidemarker that you'll have to pull out the sidemarker to get to)

im going for the 88-89 bumpers. when i got my car fixed, they put the 88 bumper on my 87. now i wanna get the front one to match. i found one and still want to go buy it. and yes, 5 finger discounts are always nice. thats why i always like to wear my jncos, the baggy jeans, so i can put stuff like emblems and what not in there. its not right, but a lot of people do it anyway.

WHOA man, I'm the one that used jeep front clear turn signal's for my car. Thing is, I only used the clear plastic, nothing else. I wanted to use something that wasn't as weak as floresant lighting panels, so that's what I found. I hack sawed the lenes off and shaped the pieces with a dremel. A much easier source would be to use sheet lexan plastic from home depot. I created a how to on this whole subject, go back a page or so and find it in the apperance section.

the 88-89 lights are longer so either you get the newer bumper (which also has a smother look to it because it's wider at the bottom) or cut the holes bigger in your 86-87 bumper
