New-style clear crystal side lights fitted
I came across these a few days ago on UK eBay and thought I would give them a try. They look cleaner and more modern than the 'white' lenses I fitted when I got the car, and match the fog lights better.
The seller had two pairs for sale, but now seems to have discontinued them. I have contacted him to see if he has any more, and whether he can also provide the indicator lenses in the same style.

Very nice look.
When I was trying to find a smoke colored lenses I ran across these and i am pretty sure the seller has then in clear as well. Might be a good match for your new style.

Not that I expect this to happen (well maybe I do ).....but...... just make sure they are sealed up well, these type of reflectors were about a few years back and were quite expensive around £300 for the set, what use to happen is they got water inside them and they would turn green with algae...
They took looking after and your average owner was not into removing their reflectors every so often to clean them out.... Some how I dont think Frog will find that a problem

[anal_mode] I also put a round disc of white electrical tape on the inside of the rubber washer, so that from the outside looking through the lens it looks a bit like a SilverVision bulb rather than a black blob [/anal_mode]
I won them on eBay for £26.

Bargain
I use THESE people for the side repeater and then fit a chrome bezel, these repeater are not meant for Jaguar XKs, they fit S Types but they have a recess for the repeater to sit into, XKs are meant to sit flush, but as these crystal clear type have a chamfer and basically... looks crap IMO.... But with a bezel... that looks good!
I have even colour coded them to the car before, that also works well.

I meant a kit with matching fronts and sides, and chrome bezels for fronts, sides and the rears...

They do fit, they just have a chamfered back and do not sit as nicely to the bodywork as the originals, hence the use of the bezel.
