I have the performance seats, interior black pack, extended leather pack and red stitching. I wanted to break up the all black of the center console. So I ordered the original "Ignis Orange" engine stop/start button that came on earlier F-TYPEs. Cost of the button was about $28 picked up from my local retailer

Installation is straight forward. You really need a trim panel removal tool to remove the center console trim as its fitted on very tight. Afterwards everything just snaps back together.

I also wanted a more uniformity with the interior lighting. The footwell lights use a traditional 194 filament bulb. The output is very yellow. Kind of mismatched looking considering that the overhead map lights are white LEDs. I ordered 4500K/85lumen LEDs. 4500K is white enough to match the overhead map lights and 85 lumens is just bright enough where its not too obnoxious or look aftermarket. I ordered the LED's from SuperBrightLEDs. Knowing how electrically sensitive these cars were, I went with a CANBUS compatible setup to avoid any error codes or issues.

Replacing the footwell lights was a bit of a pain. The bulbs are tucked away to point where you need stick your head in the footwell to see what you are doing.

Before:
Everything is all black. Nothing wrong with that. Just a bit boring.








After:
Just enough color to break up all the black:


LED in the footwell before/after. Note that the light output is very similar but much whiter.

 

Do you have the part number for the ignis start/stop button ? I think I might have to do the same thing...

 

Funny, the one thing I don't like on my car is the orange start button. Wish it were black
I ordered metal paddles in place of the orange ones too.

 

Same. I want to replace all of the orange bits in the interior to black.

 

Here you go! I was surprised at the low cost of the button considering how expensive other parts are!

 

Are you interested in parting ways with the Orange paddle shifters say for my black Stop/Start button?

 

I will trade my black button for an orange one if anyone is local southern cal.

 

Or maybe the silver from the XE? They should be compatible?

I didn't even consider that! But upon examination of the XE parts diagram, it appears the button is integrated into that panel.

 

I'm in England. The orange paddles feel very cheap and light. Thought I'd Put them back on the car should I buy a new one in the future.
Otherwise would trade, sorry.

 

Thanks for the tip on the footwell lights - ordered those. Those about going with blue lights, but stuck with white.

Burnt my hands a couple times running a feed wire on that hot little stock bulb under there. Love LEDs. Just upgraded my T2 pinball to all LEDs!

 

Yep, one of the first things I did was to replace the horrible sickly yellow footwell light bulbs with bright white LEDs, I used COB versions. As you say they were a PITA to get at, in my case especially the passenger one (LHS on my car), it took a good 15 minutes of squirming around on my back with my head right up under the dash to get it done, it really is jammed into a very tight spot. I also fitted Growler/Jaguar logo projector puddle lights in the door sills, very quick and easy to do, not that expensive and adds a nice bit of bling.

It also makes me wonder why Jaguar fitted those horrible yellow bulbs in the footwell lights, when all other secondary lighting in the F-Type is white LEDs. Unlike my XFR which had a million horrible yellow bulbs and no white ones so I swapped every damn one of them out for white or blue LEDs!

 

White is the way to go. It matches the overhead lights and looks OEM. Driverside is easy to replace. Passenger side is a pain.

 

Pics and link of where you got them?

 

Love the Puddle Lights however they might be a little much with these illuminated BLUE letter plates. Comeon Jag - red car - only blue on the whole car .... oh well. That's why I thought about BLUE under dash/footwell lights so the blue wouldn't look so out of place. (Red and Black car - why Blue, oh well)

 

I wonder if you can get ice blue puddle/footwell lights to match the door etc lights. That'd be pretty cool.

Unless you were looking for a vein, I suppose.

 

Yep, of course you can, they are the same T10 wedge W5W bulbs as elsewhere.

I just tried to take some pics in my garage but no go, my camera flash just completely wiped out the logo every time.

i always wanted the silver shifter base for my R, but after seeing what's involved to get it out, i kinda got over it

i used the osram 5000k footwell leds, matches oe interior lighting perfectly, and swapped out the plastic console trim for oe carbon - made a big diff

 

Actually I just installed the illuminated puddle lights today, they are not the same T10 wedge bulbs. Changing the light color would be nearly impossible.
