hi guys has anyone here installed LED under body lights on our jag.. the s type... cos i want to install some. but the installation guy said there's no access on the firewall to put through some wiring cos we needed to install an off and on switch near the dash. so he couldn't do it... any suggestions anyone?

 

Jaguar's are not Honda's........

 

Rice rice baby! da da dum da da dum dum dah dah! Rice Rice baby!

sorry, couldn't resist!

just make sure who ever installs them fastens them with good screws and really tucks the cables. My friends with rice rockets (evos, subis, 3000gts, etc) always complain how the wires catch on things while they drive sometimes, or they break due to road conditions, but their cars are all on coil overs and such. good luck on the install and dont forget to take pics and show us how it comes out!

Oh and if it were me, there should be a hole in the bottome of the trunk under the spare, you can go through there and then access the cabin from the trunk. The battery is also back there in case you need a power and ground source

cheers

 

Did you say LED's on bikes? That I have......car I do not!

 

Jaysus another mensa...

 

No they're not.... And even when I had Honda's I wouldn't put LED's on them.....

Tires, Intake, and Exhaust, Yes.....Lights, Coffee Cans, and yellow stickers.....No.

 

Jeff, can you enlighten me?

 

Haha +10, we got the boot and a serious scolding on that thread.

I agree, its not a Honda Civic with those annoying exhausts arrggghhhhh.

I wouldnt even think about doing it, but good luck if you decide to.

 

It could be worse. Lambo doors all around and ghetto wheels. Probably has a 10,000 watt stereo that can cause a 4.0 earthquake.

Hey guys, just let him do it. If he's looking to instantly depreciate his S-Type by another $3,000 or so, that may be one of the best paths to follow....

 

hmmmmmm is it that bad.... theres a lot of negatives there... not enough positives.. ahahaa

 

There was a website a while back called beaterz.com (that is the correct spelling) that isn't around anymore..They used to post pictures of really bad modified cars, mostly riced out stuff. It always seemed that the cars would be loaded up with yellow decals for stuff that wasn't even on the cars..LOL

So, the joke was that yellow stickers made your car faster....

I was hoping that someone would have caught that...

 

so guys.... is there a rubber grommet in the firewall for wiring? cos i havent seen one... i see one on top of the break pedal but i dont know where it ends up... its so tight in there.......

 

I guess neon or LED's would be better than this......



Here is the site if you MUST see more....

Here is a similar page to the long lost and dearly missed Beaterz.com

those two pics are just wrong.. ahahaha

 

I am boldly venturing an opinion here, but, Jaguars are not really the kind of cars you would install underlights -- just wouldn't look right, surely?
Now a Subaru Impretza...

danrey, guess none knows..... find a clear shot both in the engine compartment and inside firewall, drill a hole and go to any autoparts store and purchase a small grommet make sure to use the correct sized drill. Maybe you should buy the grommet first then drill a hole!

Ahhhh thank you for clarifing that Jeff, I personally haven't seen the yellow stickers that I can remember.

 

awwww ok.... thanks
