    Can anyone tell if these tail lights came with my Jeep when it was new? I haven't seen any others like it. Even on the tail light king web site.

    no, those are definately not CJ5 taillights. I don't have a pic handy but your taillights should not be flush with the back panels of the tub. the correct ones look like round trailer lights.

    I have a big hole to fill I guess. I could just move further away from being original. I'll have to ask the family where the lights came about. Thanks for the info. I was having a hard time finding my style lights.

    Definitely not stock for a CJ-5. They look kinda like Jeepster Commando tail lights, but they appear to be slightly bigger. Hard to tell when taken out of context.

    Could be Jeepster. If so, someone will want them - don't throw them away.
