Free.51 2,703 Posted March 2, 2017 I was running fd taillights in my zl a few yrs back i just angle grinded the rear panel to fit the taillights not a pro job but worked you could probably unpick the rear panel off a zj zk fc fd & spot weld it to your fe after taking off the original one dont forget the wiring & globes which are wired to the tail lamps the light up nxt to the indicators Sent from my LG-H340 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dex 2,065 Posted March 2, 2017 Thought it'd be a hole saw job , As in to open up a hole for the extra light Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Free.51 2,703 Posted March 2, 2017 I suppose if you had a big enough hole saw,the threads on the taillights are in different locations on fd to fe lights too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Free.51 2,703 Posted March 2, 2017 The fuel flap door will fit but from memory i snapped off 1 off the threads so it would fit (youll see what i mean when you do the swap) When you change the boot trim to fd i think youll have a couple of holes exposed from where the fe one was i just kept the fe bootlid which did look a little out of place also are you keeping the fe rear bar or going xe rear bar? I put all the surrounding trim & xe bar on mine Theres some pics of mine in the showroom under "show us ur fairlanes/LTDs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dex 2,065 Posted March 2, 2017 Hmmmm , Starting to talk myself out of this now . Didn't realise the bumper would need swapping out as well . My bumper and side trim is in good nic .
