THESE ONES!!! yeah baby I've never even seen them on another CJ here. Plenty of these truck lite onesImageUploadedByTapatalk1440682608.270555.jpg but never these good onesImageUploadedByTapatalk1440682644.028041.jpg

Eric, I would leave the pics for those in the future looking for info on RHD Jeeps... there is more here now than all the searches I have done.

Now... from a Overlander vs. CJ7 perspective, it appears the Overlander got the YJ style and the CJ7 got the VW style.

Ick those bee dub ones are not close. Fully round ish. Ours are square with slightly curved sides. Also not as large as those be ones.

With the glass slider/seal I made those too. Reverse the standard one from Morris or whomever, so that the segmented bit which goes around the curve on a curved door is halfway down the back rail. This gives you the full length along the top without notches. Cut it at the correct mitre angle and push it into the groove then the top is done. Mitre the end of the other bit and push it up in to meet the end of the top section. 401 Loctite down the inside of the back frame to make sure the seal can't slide down and push the seal in. Viola you have pointy door glass seals/sliders. Then itchy bit is now halfway down the back frame where no one will ever know :)
 
Judging by the wiring and the look of them the UK spec ones were fitted here in the UK by the importers probably to comply with EU regulations.
I threw some of them in the bin a while back!, but i think there are some in the brown CJ8 complete with the metal bracket that stands them off the body tub if you want some spares because i wont be using them when i can get away with original style lights.

The Overlander style lights also look familiar, i need to have a rummage through my spares!
 
The clear lenses came with the project and are brand new... have like a chrome around it as opposed to the ones that were on it that were worn off chrome leaving black with grey primer overspray.

So, I hope to get to those tonight after work... been a rough week, some garage time would be nice... have to dig up the mud flaps as well.

I didn't get done as much as I would have liked to last night, but today is a new day, I hope to put that light back together and get to cleaning up the other one and getting that back on the Jeep tomorrow hopefully. I also plan to do the hood (I know, I have been saying that for a while)

We will see how the day goes.
