super_jag -> LED Swap (2/1/2008 1:46:58 PM)

Has anybody tried an led swap on your interior lights. I did this on my cougar and change the green to blue. I don't like the color of the Jag interior lights, on my window switches, gear selection, ext..., I bought some white leds to switch them to, I will post pics, later.

I also have a question for the techs..... if i change the instrument cluster will the mileage change? Not because I want to "roll back" the mileage, just because I plan on changing the instrument cluster lighting to white as well, that way I can take my time to change the instrument cluster lighting and not have to rush it.

Lighting would look like this

Warning:-
Changing the instrument cluster WILL change the mileage and you WILL have to take it to a dealer to get the instrument cluster coded to your key.Someone on another forum had this problem last week (changing to a message centre type although changing to any other cluster will mean it needs coding).My cluster was changed at 38k under warranty.
Re The lights
In my MR2 Turbo I just replaced the interior light bulb with a blue bulb.
Great , especially if you like blue.Cost around £1

It shouldnt take too long to change the instrument pack bulbs depending on the vehicle. All the packs come out very quickly with the exception of the earlier (2000-2002) S-Types. If  you are going to take the pack out of one of those, make sure you buy the left and right side vent assemblies just in case.
