Hello,

i just got my new F-Type 2018 Coupe. After a while i took a deeper look in what i payed for and i discovered that i just throw 300€ out of the window for the ability to change the color of 3 lights in the car called ambiente light mode.
WTF! its not changing the color of the paddle light or the door light, its just change the light of door opener and right to the passenger handle.

This is really pain in the as and i would recomennd for every on, not to buy that ****.

Do you have any ideas how i could at least change the light colour at my paddles? is there any mod?

thx in advance...

Dom

 

Dom,
I was disappointed as well when I noticed the limited number of lights that changed when adjusting the ambient lights. I don't want 1/3 the lights blue, 1/3 red and the other 1/3 white...
Ended up setting them to blue to match most of the others in the cabin so there would be one color. Changing to dynamic mode changes some to red, but not all, and the ambient lighting setting cant fix it either.
You can tear the interior apart and change the bulbs to a different color, but that is a lot of work for some of the bulbs, and I don't know if Jaguar has special bulbs in the interior that can't be replicated with aftermarket bulbs. I have changed some bulbs to experiment with different colors (footwell), but it is hard to match them all.

 

 

 

 

I have the silver sports paddles but they have nothing to do with the Light bulbs used...
Well i guess i need to acceppt this fact. But i will definetly call my dealer and tell him about my disappointment...

 

The OEM metal silver paddles lack the LEDs and just have the +/- cut out of the aluminium.
The plastic ones are just the normal ones with the white LED.
I think Greggbhill meant to swap for the metal ones if you want to get rid of the lights entirely.

 

Ok, now i understand. Becasue i dont want to get rid of the light at all, this is no option for me. but thanks
