Stopped by a local salvage yard on a whim. They just so happened to have an XJ. Ended up having the illumination package so I scooped up all 4 plus trunk trim. Also noticed the leather wrapped rear console trim. All for $280!!

I didn't get the dash pieces. One, I didn't have my vent removal too. Two, they refused to sell those separately from the entire dash 🙄 ... which they wanted $200 for. Not sure if I want the hassle.

Sorry for the dark and shitty pics. It was Night when I made it home.

 

 

Now for the downside.
I was so excited that I didn't check if it was a SWB 😄 so the rear sills don't fit my LWB. I'll be hoping to find someone to trade with. Not sure if I can sell just the 2 rears, but will try.

Also mosquitoes tore my *** up 😩

 

Nice find. I really want one of those leather rear consoles too.

Bummer about the short rear sills. The long ones do show up on ebay sometimes. I got lucky and found a new set of 4 sills a while back. Wiring is there for those too so easy swap.

You should be able to find the connectors for the rear vent lighting, but the fronts maybe not. On my 2011 XJL I have not found any evidence of pre-wiring available for the front vents. I am planning on adding that wiring and have sourced the right connectors to do it.

 

I never realized how much nice the wrapped ones were.

I already installed the front pair...super easy. I assumed the dash wiring would be there as well..now I'm curious 🤔. No big deal if they're not.

 

I already had a set of rear vent lights. So I will take these 2 out and swap the center part (with the light) onto the out vents on my dash. Super easy. The clock can work as a center one for now.

 

If you find the wires in the dash please take some pics so I know where to look. After the holidays I plan to get back to working on mine.

Not sure how "center" you are thinking but pretty sure the black orbs are not the same front vs. rear. You will need to get down to the light rings themselves.

If the light rings fit onto the unlighted orbs then please let us know. I did not think to compare to an unlighted one when I blackened my lighted ones. Definitely curious about that.

 

Lol I'll definitely post what I find.

By center, I mean the chrome plated part that you rotate to open/close the vent. I took a rear one apart down to light ring before. Visually, that part seem identical to the front ones. I also swapped the lighted to an unlighted rear one..because I messed up the clips on the original. I will post my findings on the dash vents.. but I can confirm 100% that the lighted rear rings fit on a non-lighted rear vent.

 

Also noticed the wrecked car has a leater wrapped headliner. 1st time seeing one in person.
