THANKS.

 

So I'm finally getting around to installing this and can't seem to figure out which wires to connect it to. I've been poking around with a test light and can't seem to find any wires in the trunk that light up correctly. Did those who installed it end up having to move the wires down through the loom to connect behind the taillights? I can't seem to find the fuses for the trunk lights either.

Here's the instructions from Bob. I can't seem to find a connector that lights up with my tester (maybe I have a fuse out).
Run all 3 wires individually to each hole. White stripe is + the black is -. Tie all white stripe to red, all black to black. The wire harness with the butt connector, Red is brake + blue is for parking light +, black is common ground.

 

N8t....Give Bob a call if needed he will help....I had mine installed by a local shop . Also I just received the Red Eyed Badge for the front Grill...will have that installed soon.

 

I like the way that looks....may look into purchase...may have to look into someone to install first, cause I am not good with that....at all...LOL

 

Has anyone installed tis themselves? Can you let us know how difficult it was? Did you install the single or dual frequency?

 

I've installed it myself and frankly it looks awesome. Dual frequency (although I'm going to have to run a wire from inside the trunk to get the brake light function). It was fairly simple. A couple notes though:

1) I drilled the holes, then used a polyurethane to coat the edges. I know people say you don't have to worry about it, but I couldn't handle bare metal being there. I'd rather be careful and avoid rust.

2) The badge didn't fit quite as well on the plastic light up piece as I'd like, so I stuck them together then used a bench grinder and dremel to trim the edges.

3) The badge kept lifting a bit during install because the mount point is slightly rounded. I used a heat gun to bend it so it fits and doesn't lift up.

 

I thought the XF trunk is aluminium? If so you don't need to worry about rust

 

Nup, the trunk is steel, many cases of rust along the bottom edge of the chrome strip.
It's the hood/bonnet that is alooooominum.

 

Nice install, looks great!!!

 

Ah - good to know. I had thought bonnet and boot (to use the British!) were both Al

 

Good day everyone!

Sent an email to Bob requesting an illuminated leaper for my Jag. He reiterated that doing just one emblem is not the most efficient use of his time, as his workload is heavy. He stated that he needs a minimum of five orders to proceed forward. At the moment, he has just two, in case anyone else is planning on placing an order.

Have a wonderful day!

 

I'm interested in both of these installs as well.
My question is , where is this Bob and his Evolution shop in California?
I'm here in California, LA to be exact, and would be interested in visiting his shop if it's local.
All I see from this thread is his email and "Evolution".
Any body have a number and shop address?

 

Pretty sure I remembered seeing them in the Sacramento area. But don't quote me on that.

 

Hey Guys....Evolution , 5910Auburn Blvd. Suite #15, Citrus Heighs, CA 95621

 

Hello all, I'm new to the forum but am interested in ordering the illuminated leaper. Do I have five others interested inputting in a order?

 

Correction a minimum of four others interested?

 

I'm in.

 

Thanks much Ghost. It really looks nice blacked out

 

Great. I contacted Bob, from the company that fabricates these illuminated leapers and he said he will probably be free in a couple weeks to fabricate our order. He said he only needs 3 order minimum and not 5 to start work, and he already has one person waiting so you and I will make the required 3 minimum. His email address is b916@hotmail.com. Reach out to him.

 

I'm in as well. I have talked to Bob before...I will send another email to let him know.

Thanks!
