LED bulbs for indicators & reverse
Has anyone found an LED replacement bulb for PSY19W? These are the bulbs for turn indicators & reverse in the tail-lamps for MY2009-11. I can't seem to find any vendors that sell such a bulb or anyone who has swapped out these bulbs on thier XF.
Is it as big a "trend" for Jag owners as it is for Range Rover owners? While the tail-lamps on my RRS are all LED, I did purchase non-error code LED bulbs for the side indicators & reverse. I'd like to "upgrade" my XF indicators & revers to LED but not finding anything.
Any guidance from the pro's here is greatly appreciated!
Cheers,

I replaced the reversing bulbs with 68 LED type 5202 bulbs (a/k/a H16, 5202 or 9009) from Ebay for $30. Color temp is said to be around 6000 Kelvin. They are a bit brighter and quite a bit whiter than the standard bulbs so you can see better when viewing the reverse camera on the screen at night. The 5202 bulbs are used for fog lights on some GM vehicles, so they are widely available.
The front turn signal bulbs are 3457. I replaced these with chrome bulbs that glow amber when lit. I got these from www.stealthauto.com. If you're going to bother with the front turn signals, you should definitely also replace the wedge parking bulbs (168) with chrome ones that are amber when lit as well. These are normally white, but their color is not nearly as white as the Xenons, so they don't look good when lit. So, instead, I got the ones that are amber when lit. As an alternative, you can get PIAA Xtreme white bulbs (#19172) that have a color that is very close to that of the Xenons. These can also be used for the rear license plate bulbs for a whiter look. Since you're going to have the front headlights out for the parking and turn signal bulbs, you may as well also replace the high beams with Hoen Xenonmatch Titanium 75W H7 bulbs, which match the Xenon low beams very nicely in terms of color. PIAA also makes a version of these, but they are not nearly as white.
