    None of these. The top two pictures are some import lights that are sorta close, but not original or correct. They'd likely pass with the general public. The bottom pic is what I would call a "boat trailer light," an aftermarket light sold for general purpose use (such as boat trailers or utility trailers). These get put on Jeeps a lot, but they are not correct for any year or model.

    This is an original light:

    No aftermarket source, only what exist now. The lenses are available, at least they were a few years ago. The driver's side has a clear lens in the bottom for the license plate and a license plate bracket.

    These lights get smashed a lot, because of where they are on the body. Replacements are scarce.
