Didn’t like the OEM puddle lights, can see them from inside the car and not part of the ambience lighting.
On my 2020 P300 Evoque the puddle lights have a stylised Evoque silhouette.
Found these on Amazon
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B08ZDNGRLF?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Great fit, plug and play and just over £12 delivered.
Came with two wired tails but not needed
Best bit you don’t get any unwanted light inside the cabin

Isn't that in the wrong way round?
Normally the ones that spell out the brand are supposed to be readable to the person opening the door.

I know I’m in a Jaaag!
Maybe that’s what the extension cables are, to turn the lights 180Deg? The OEM cable is too short otherwise.
I’m happy as they are though. If you hadn’t mentioned it I would be none the wiser and still the least bovered!
 
I bought some a few years ago. You can rotate them.
I was disappointed that the “J” was the wrong shape though.
 
Shouldnt be handed. Checked before I fitted them and both exactly the same.
It’s a 5 min job so will check
It didn’t bother me until mentioned now bother me🤣 at the worst I can extend the cables with the supplied extension looms

They are handed. easy enough to swap around.
 
Most of those puddle lights with the Jaguar symbol don't last very long before becoming just a blur.

I fitted them and they looked great for a while but I've since refitted the original lights.
 
They have lasted longer than a week so far. I don't expect them to last too long just a bit of fun really and the wife hates them which makes me happy...

There is a lug on them to enable orientation.

I think these ones are the best out there. Look great, last well and have the right font. I know I'm a bit OCD but the ones mentioned earlier in this thread have an old font which wasn't used with the F-Type except possibly on some very early cars.

Got them from from aliexpress but it doesn't seem like that specific listing is left.

Good choice. Has the right font too. :) The price seems excessive though. I've seen the same on the German amazon for 15€.

That head/grower version has been around for a few years and others have reported that they fade over time. Had them for a short while before I found the ones I have now, and this is how they looked...
