Anybody have a photo of these installed and a place I could order a set online? I found a place yesterday online but can't locate it now. I just got a set of Stainless Steel Steelcraft/Aries but I am not sure if I am going to keep them. I was looking for something with 3 crossbars that line up with the lens seams. These I have now have 4 crossbars and don't line up.

I know I am being anal about this but it's my money. :lol:

these are the ones I got. I am going to keep them, the wife likes them so I don't have to listen to her whine about me spending the money! I bought these from Jack Mikol on eBay he says they are Aries but all the packaging and paperwork shows Steelcraft. Are they one and the same? His eBay ad also shows a different picture than these so I sent him some pics to use in future ads.

Be careful.... Maine does not allow any kind of cover over either headlights or tail lights :evil: I have a set of the plastic "Jeep" ones and the only reason it has passed inspection is because the cross bars align with the seams :!: If I could find a set of stainless steel ones that meet that same criteria, I'd own em!
Check with your local inspection garage before spending too much $$$...

metal, in fact Stainless Steel. The seams line up where needed. The bottom red isn't even used on our tail lights. not even a bulb in there. :)

Are they held on there pretty good? Looks as if one branch could rip them right off!!?????? Not knocking the bling there but it just looks that way :roll:

2 brackets where the Torx hold the light to the body and 1 bracket on the outside edge that screws from the guard to under one one of the posts that pop into the Jeep.

Oh, and it's definitely bling. When they get ripped off then I will go back to the OEM lights and get a set of Manik guards which seem to be more form fitting than these.
