Hey guys looking for some tail light guards, I want to go for the blacked outt look. I know tans2002limited posted some that I really liked and the only part of the tailight you could see are the hald ovals. I've seen the mopar ones, there are my back up incase I can't find the others.

Help me out!

It took some serious Googlemanship, but I came up with AVSS-35833

those are stick-on, right?

tan's2002kjlimited · **Posted:** Thu Aug 14, 2008 7:01 pm

Yes, I just ordered a pair $62 & $15 s/h.

A lot of $$$ for something that won't protect the lights. Sort of like the plastic Mopar ones. But they do look good.

Terry :wink:

K...let's see here.

On one hand you have a plastic stick-on taillight "guard" that won't really protect the light, because if you hit something, it will flex and the taillight will break anyway.

On the other hand, you have a STEEL CAGE BOLTED TO SHEETMETAL that if you hit something hard enough to break the taillight, it will bend the sheetmetal instead. But, your taillight doesn't get busted.

Sounds like a win-win situation to me!

the way that thing is "bolted" or should I say Torx screwed in 2 placed and bracketed under 1 of the posts that pop into the Jeep body I am pretty sure the light's going to be in pieces if I ever hit or snag anything with it! There will be a loud,cracking/crunching sound followed by the pitter patter of plastic pieces falling to the ground! :lol:

If one likes the look, that's cool, but from a protection standpoint, I really don't see the benefit to installing these things.

I called on the phone: http://www.suvxccessory.com/xccessory/contact-us.html

and found out you order them from Calif, and they're drop shipped from PA.

I saw them once before (used) on Ebay. I think they'll hit at least $50 by the end.

Tom thanks for posting the site for the metal guards, I have just begun looking for those & have only been able to find the plastic ones.

I have these and that is probably exactly what would happen.

Got my

today.
Took the first series AVS guards off, and dry fitted them.
They look real nice. Kind of a dark smoked.
