Arrow 14-17 Owners Do Y'all Want Full LED Headlights And Tails ? Aftermarket Manufacture

Hi guys hope all is well I am currently in talks with a manufacture to offer aftermarket full LED headlights and tail lights for Jaguar. They currently in the developmental stages of producing for the XK models currently. They may be producing F-Type models next. I want to gather the feedback to see how owners feel. Thanks

The Xenon Hi-Densities throw off plenty of light, and I prefer the look over the LEDs. No sale here.

While it always great to encourage the manufacturing of aftermarket parts for our cars, I'm not sure how much traction you're going to get with this part in particular. I'm not sure I've met or spoken to anyone that prefers to the look of the facelifted headlights. Although, I do like the newer smoked taillights.

I happen to like them and think the light output is better than HID. I would be interested to purchase.

I concur with Jaggyx. My only interest would be in the newer-style smoked taillights.

There should be nothing preventing you from inserting 12V LED bulbs into the HID projectors. Tie them in before the ballast. I prefer the looks of the HID projector units.

Actually, most LED lights have a cooling fan, or something else protruding from the back to dissipate the heat. That prevents us from putting LED headlights into the HID projectors. For one, we can't put the caps/ covers back on and two, I don't know if it would interfere with the movement of the projectors with the adaptive lighting.

There are quite a few LED bulbs available in the D3S form factor, so it should be easy peasy.
