Heat generated from the load resistors about 97-105 degrees. Not bad.

Time spent on this project about six hours. Well worth it.

George, fantastic job on getting the right combo of resistors! Looks great.

Let's start gathering some interest in a group buy. I'd like to sell 5 kits for the special pricing. Copy and paste the list below and add your name if interested.

Awesome work guys! So, there is no longer a bulb failure indication anywhere and everything works correctly? If so, I would be very interested in getting this if I could find the right person in my area to be able to install this. :-/

Guys, I apologize, but it looks like there might be a delay on getting the wiring harness here that is necessary for your car. I think George got lucky on the harness that I was able to get for him - GHOSTRIDERXKR08 has had one on order with me for a couple of weeks and it still has no ETA. Since the 2010 backup lamps have a different connector, this harness is required to get the functionality of two reverse lamps.

I will keep everyone posted. Perhaps if we increase demand for this part, Jaguar will ramp up their production!

Got my car back from Eurotoys after George's fix and now the Bulb Failure in the dash is gone. Everything is working great.

Just want to give a special thanks to George for figuring out the fix for the tail lights, the detailed instructions and all the updates. Want to also thank Dan at Nalley Jaguar for getting the reverse light harnass as quickly as he did. Thanks!

Also.....want to give a special thanks to Mike at Eurotoys who did the installation for the tail lights, reverse light harnass and all the load resistors and relays to get them working with no bulb failure in the dash. Anyone in the Chicagoland area who's looking for someone to install their 2010 LED tail lights, I would highly recommend Eurotoys.

Oh! I'd say about 1800.-2000.00?

It's well worth it!

I agree. But the other issue is access. Where to get it done if you are not down for doing the diy. Huge esthetic improvement. Why did land rover and jag wait so long to do thiS?
