I have to say, when I saw the title I though I would hate this. However, I think it looks really subtle and cool. Anyone would think you worked for Jaguar, dawg! B)

 

thanks :):thumbs: much appreciated!

 

Edited at the request of Huisky. :)

Isn't that a bit of a slur round here now after Chesterfields experience? :headhurt:

 

hmm i dont know quite how to take that tbh.

I think it should be taken as the "Good Jaguar Design Ideas and Innovation" rather than "Money Grabbing Don't Give A Cr@p About Customers" Jaguar....

Correct! I suppose its the sales end thats letting the side down.

Yup, nothing wrong with the aesthetics, just the implementation.

 

It was meant the good way, Husky. :)

 

cheers mate, i did take your comment in the right way :)

That looks mint mate! I did the same, but on the other side and in red so that when I brake the whole Z strip lights up!

 

High level brake light :) i like it, you got any pictures?

Great work on the lighting ...

 

That's just reminded me that my boot light has stopped working :headhurt:

 

Hopefully it's just a bulb ...

 

if it is, replace with an led one :)

Hey people.

The new, brighter/whiter, version of this will be on my car as soon as i don't have to crawl through snow to install it. I'll take some pictures to post up. I'll write up some information on what you'll get and offer them up for sale :) If anyone's interested please PM me :thumbs:

Do you know what type of bulb is needed for the boot light?

 

I was thinking of ordering one now but can't get the existing one out of the car at the moment ...

Hey,

 

Its a 501 size bulb, your best bet is to find an LED bulb that has side mounted LED's like THIS the reason is that the bulb is mounted side on so a front mounted LED will look very dull.

Thanks for the info Husky ... I will order the bulb when I'm on my lunch break ...

 

BTW: Is there a switch to activate the light that I don't know about or is it controlled purely by the boot lid?
