Extreme Recon Tail Light Extensions

[kjchristopher]

Is this a cosmetic thing? What's the purpose/benefit of an extension on the tail lights?

they position the tail lights further out so they are visible at the required angles with the larger spare.

According to Mopar the bezels/extenders are not an available end item, You would need to purchase the lamp assemblies. I called them up on this months ago and do not see any changes in the parts data.

With that being said there "may" be a workaround here but I am not 100% certain. The part numbers for incandescent lamps with 35's are much cheaper than the LED options. Perhaps the bezels from these can be swapped over

Did you ever get confirmation of this?

Not of swapping them but we know for sure the extensions only come with the lamps.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,

After some investigating and confirmation from someone with who owns XR non-LED lights, I believe that the non-LED extensions will NOT fit LED lights. Seems to be missing the XR LED closeout panel. Notice how different these two pieces are. So if you want LED extensions, you have to buy the whole expensive led tail lamp assembly.

Thank you for this info, It's very helpful for us and others.

I thought that I’d have to get a set of stock non-XR taillights in order to replace my XR taillights. That’s not true. The extensions are actually three separate parts. You can remove them from an XR taillight, however you will need the non-XR side filler pieces. The parts were $23 shipped to me to buy new parts. Or swap with somebody wanting to add the XR extensions to a non-XR taillight.

Parts needed to remove the XR extensions are 68376509AA and 68376510AA.

I don’t know what the part numbers are for the XR extensions unfortunately.

Would you be willing to sell the tail light extensions off of your XR? It has the Louie and Ralf logos on it right?

I was thinking of replacing my Willys XR tails with LEDS or Oracle Flush mounts. Are the extensions difficult to remove? Additional steps needed to remove them? I doubt they will work with the Oracles lights.

Anyone? Can they just be removed and install other lights without any issues?

With the Oracle flush mounts the entire OEM XR assembly can be removed and the new Oracle lights installed easily. Plenty of YouTube videos with installation instructions.

Was thinking of getting the Form lights instead. Might have to remove the extensions all together. Wasn’t sure it will be an issue to install without extensions

In reading this thread, I’m not sure if this is possible, but…I broke the passenger side LED tail light with my tailgate mounted high-lift jack while swinging the tailgate open and I need to replace the LED tail light (with blind spot sensor). I have 22 Rubicon XR so it has the tail light extenders. I contacted MOPAR and I have to buy the whole assembly which is $800. I’m finding replacement OEM tail lights on eBay for $300-$400 but they are for the standard (non XR) jeeps. Does anyone I know if I can buy a non-XR LED tail light and add the plastic extender to it? Thanks!

Is there any reason the XR LED taillights cannot be swapped with non-XR LED taillights?

Any coding or wiring required at all?

Only difference is the extension.

Cool. Let it be known that I am offering my 2024 XR LED w/ blind spot taillights up for trade to anyone with non-XR LED w/ blind spot lights.

Free if we are doing it in Little Rock, AR. ?
