Hey there everybody, hows eveybody doing these days.

Anyways has anybody ever thought or done halo/angel lights for our cars. I know thermo and I touched on them once.

Any pics photo shop pics?

And led tail lights?

 

If you mean the real halo..hid..Im gonna use them as my fogs..My buddy says its gonna take some fiberglass work and a lower valance repaint but will look sick when done,He has a photo shop pic.I'll email em for it..what were you thinking of?

 

seeing that the housings are easy to taker apart you could probably do it very cheap..ebay sells LED halo rings i think i remember them being like $50 or less.
just tie the led ring into the small bulb in the high beam housing.

 

for the love of Pete... Tails are ok, but no halos or Audi led bars.

 

Swap some customized Z projectors in there.. That could be interesting.

 

whats everybody oponion ont he halos...i want to do leds for the tailights but am worried about the wiring and how to go about it

 

Halos on the X-Type is gonna look so out of place and tacky. Not only does it not belong, but how many circles does the front end need? No need to highlight them all with halo headlights too.

 

Okay point taken. I wont do halos for the main lights and front end.

Now wha about the rear. Leds or halos? Leds i think would look wicked but im going to ask my freind for his old jeep talight and practive on that before i rip mine apart.

 

what are the bulb sizes for the tailights? And i think I found something simlar to what im looking for, its a direct replacemnt bulb with resistors and leds built in.

 

i do believe the tail light size is 194...dont quote me, i've been doing alot of work with the front lights -- eventually i put in 194 led's for the running lights, they dont fill the entire light cavity but atleast they arent yellow. Then for the low beams and high beams i used h1st silverstars by sylvania...seemed to work okay. I would still like to go brighter but for now im happy with how the set up is.

 

no angel eyes on Jaguars!

 

+1

 

okay nobody knows what size for sure?

for the tailights, just something sinple and brighter

 

Disco, if you check your owners manual you probably need PY21W's for the tails. If so, don't use the 1157s as the offset of the pins is different. I think there was a thread a while back about someone who got their X with 1157s jammed in there and they had burned out socket problems.

 

Did you ever get the photoshopped pic back from dude? Or get it installed yet?
Last summer, at this custom auto shop, the owner showed me a live demo on my Jag of what it would look like if the fog lamps & projector headlights would look like if they had LED halos around them, they proved me wrong, they actually look nice. I really want to get them this upcoming summer.
BTW, have the LED strip on the chrome strips of the bumper makes it look like christmas lights, so I passed on that.

 

I am in the process of adding Angel Eyes to my X-Type. I know many people say they wont look good but I actually have 1 done now, and really like the look. I am doing a complete upgrade to my x-type - new paint, grill, headlights, HIDs, bumper trim , etc. The other headlight assemble was broke in shipping, so as soon as the new one gets in, and I get it all put back together - (this next week) ill get pictures taken and uploaded for you all.

 

Just remember a kitten will die each time those lights are turned on.

Please. Think about the kittens.

 

LOL - good then, because the only good cat is a Jaguar anyways - So no more kittens - LOL

 

Not feeling the "angel eye" BMW look on a Jaguar myself but each to their own

 

Have to agree. Angel lights cheapen the look of a Jag.
