Often wondered about these ... are you holding them at 'installed in the door' height for the photo Kaspa?

I have had them for about 8 months now. They are great! bright enough and cast about an 18 inch wide LED ring with Jag logo from the bottom of the door. Cost about a tenner - no complaints.

Are these easy to fit? They claim to be plug and play. What's involved?

Hello

A little higher to be honest ... so would be lower when fitted

so the graphics would be more detailed and slightly smaller in diameter

Hello

just remove you existing units and plug the new units in .. all should work, really easy job

I will post a pic when mine are completed and a few pictures of the installation process ..

Thanks Kaspa Going to order them. I really do like them

 

[dezzy]

Kaspa, do the existing units just pop out? Don't want to damage them in case I decide to go back. It looks like they just need popped out but not sure how they clip in?

I ordered some of these and they are very easy to fit. It took me 10mins yesterday.

Just pull the old ones out, there is an opening at one end of the old light that you could insert a screwdriver in if needed but mine just pulled out by hand.

Then you just need to disconnect the plug from the old light (this was the hardest bit as you have to press on a lug and I have big fingers!).

Then connect the wiring to the light and then into the connector and then push it home making sure you don't trap any of the wires.

Nice result.

Seacourt.

Hello

I have also ordered these as a alternative experiment

Just fitted them. Simples! Took about a minute in total.

Popped the originals out with my fingers. Just be careful inserting the new ones as the pins are a bit delicate so you don't want to bend them when inserting the connector. They came with a wee extension wire - didn't need it. Just plugged them straight into the existing wire. Kaspa, did you use the wire that came with them?

Can't wait for it to get dark! Held my hand up to them and they look a bit different from the photos above . . . no circle around the logo. But I think I prefer them like that. Wasn't going to drive tonight but now decided to stay sober and take the car into town just so that I can see these logos when I come back to the car in the dark and open the door! hehe

 

[dezzy]

Some photos . . . I absolutely love these! Makes me want to stop and open the door almost as much as I want to drive it! LOL

Very nice ... strange you don't have the circles ?

different manufactures different designs I suppose, but does look good

before long F Type owners will only be coming out at night

 

[dezzy]

I just used the eBay link you provided so assumed they'd be the same but I actually prefer them without the circles.

Hello

Just a couple of points that I have noticed with the new generation puddle lights

1. the new cree high power led puddle lights (the ones that I ordered and the link I shared) I notice after 2 mins they flash and turn off. I 1st thought this was a fault .. but after some investigation its a design feature to prolong the life of the LED and driver electronics .. they flash to say they are about to turn off. .. I timed them and its 2 mins

2. you can also rotate the lens assembly in the unit to have any orientation you like

Also I notice when fitting the lights there is no internal trim under the steering column or glove box ? is this normal .. I then checked our mini cooper (BMW) and that is the same .. cheap stakes ! all my old C4 corvettes had all trim areas covered

interested to know if all F Types are like this ?

regards

 

[dezzy]

Thanks Kaspa. Going to watch mine for 2 mins tonight to see if they do the same.

Will check the trim under the steering wheel too and let you know.

I did ponder the orientation for a while... Decided on what you see in the photos above as I figure I want the driver and passenger to read the word Jaguar on exit, rather than folk on the street.

Hello Dezzy .. I came to the same conclusion as you in terms of orientation
