Default Ambient lighting


Does anyone have ambient lighting upgrade option in their XF?

I'm trying to locate where all the LEDs are for this, there's a large one shown that is across the fascia (dashboard no.13 on image) but I can't see where it fits?

Maybe someone could take a picture of where this LED is located for me?

Also do ALL the lights turn red with dynamic mode or just a select few?

Ok I’ve found that the lower strip across the dash is different as it houses the LED.

Can anyone let me know how dynamic mode looks with the ambient lighting? How the rear lights look in footwells as well?

Does the LED for the Jaguar logo change at all?

I've bought the centre console harness, found some door panels on ebay that had the ambient lighting and just need a couple more parts.

Really interested in finding out though where the rear foot lights go and whether or not all lights go red with dynamic. As I'll have to solder in wiring for the bottom LED strip in the doors due to lack of harness.

off topic has anyone ever considered installing this illuminated badge to the grill? Its cheap enough to want to at least fit to see how it looks, just trying to figure out how straightforward the wiring would be to connect

I ordered one to try out for fun, TBD if I can actually get it wired correctly, here's the instruction seller gave:



I'd assume it should connect to one of the front LED headlight 15A fuses in the engine fuse box(XJ), anyone done this before can you just pull it out, wrap wire around prong, and stick back in? kinda skeptical it'll work
