Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find and purchase a pair of the European version tail lamps on the SRT8?! I have seen them on a few of our friends on the forum who live abroad, and I really like the two clear spaces rather than just one. The look great! If anyone knows where I can find them that would be much appreciated!

Thank you:)

I've been trying to do the same, but to no avail. I have the part numbers, but they can't be purchased from dealers subject to NAFTA.

There are a few threads. Here is one: http://www.cherokeesrt8.com/forums/showthread.php?t=937

PM me the part numbers and I can stop by the Jeep dealer here in Madrid and see if they can be ordered. Shipping is easy since I have a USPS in my Embassy. I will get you prices and we'll talk.

Can you figure how much shipped to the US?

I will check that, but from my previous experience its expensive.
I will be visiting the US end of April or beginning of May, I may be able to get 1 or 2 in my luggage, if any one interested

I got the prices back and the dealer wants €600 for the set which is about $750. Not worth the money in my opinion. I can order a set or 2 through them, but damn that's a lot of money. I paid $700 for an 8 peice set of euro clear lenses with bulbs for my BMW. They also said that they will order the gauge hoods for me, but only if I can prove ownership of the vehicle in Europe. I guess they are for export only and have some kind of restrictions. They only want €125 each though so I'll get them when I take delivery.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

What a drag. Oh well. Thanks for investigating this nonetheless.

Hi everyone, I own a Grand Cherokee and saw that this was a thread for the tail lights with the two clear spots instead of the American type with just one. Does anyone know if those part numbers listed in a post above are for the tail lights?
55156720 AF
55156721 AF

If so, is there a place to purchase them for my car?
Thanks

those look like the right parts.

you need to find a dealer where they use those lights to sell you those lights.
then the shipping UG.

you need to find a friendly dealer in the UK.......Middle East, AUS, etc.

when i imported some form the UK ithey ended up being over 400 for a set.

enjoy.

I got mine from a dealer in Great Britain...the same one as Robpp. Unfortunately...that dealer closed.

@Scottina06-yeah, that's pretty much what I'm looking for. I would probably get the lights without blackened brake light, eventhough I have to admit that they look pretty sweet on your car!! Or I just might get them, I don't know. So you say, unfortunately, that the dealer you got them from in Great Britain has closed...do you know anything about Car Parts Direct? It's in the UK.

06-07 SRT*US models, yes thats correct. 05-07 WKs.

Actually, those lights will only plug and play with 06 and older. I have an 07, and I have the 1-bulb-does-all setup. The 06's and older have two bulbs per side, not including the reverses.

I would also love those tails but us 07 and newers will need significant modification to seperate the brake and signal functions. I've done the mod on other cars, but you will have to run additional wires.

OPPPSSS BIG WILL is 1000% correct.

on the srt8's its ONLY 06. wk 05-06. 07+ have the 2 seperate plugs and will NOT work.

sorry guys.
