Thumbs up
Hey all, I'm in the process of building a 3D model of the 3rd gen and I was wondering about the tails - no pictures seem to show it clearly enough, but how are they set out? Are they normal bulbs etc set behind lots of smoked black glass, or is the glass in the actual bulb smoked and the surroundings just black?



Any help is appreciated. Sorry to sound n00bish (I'm an experienced forum-er on a different site, so I know how annoying some of these threads can be... but hey, maybe this is a kind and receptive community.)

they are under a smoked cover, and then there is a coloured part and then the bulb

wow that is pretty much the jeep i used to own lol



btw on jeeps the exhaust is on the passenger side of the truck, for accuracy's sake . Also the muffler is located between the two axles pipe runs straight back over axle out passenger side rear.



i know just about every detail on jeeps by heart, along with their whole history.
