Illuminated moldings
Hi.
I would like to replace my door moldings with Jaguar label on them, since they are a bit worn out.
I have an illumination package and I wonder if illuminated and non-illuminated are still the same?
I want to buy one set, but I can't figure out whether they will suit me or not.

Assuming that you mean the tread plates, it is my understanding that they are a like-for-like replacement, as the connections for illumination are simply tucked away beneath the non-illuminated tread plates (the same is true for the boot/ trunk access plate). The only potential poo-trap is the wheelbase - obviously the rears are different for the SWB and the LWB!
If you mean something else, sorry - I can't help!

Likewise assuming tread plates - if the wear is superficial scratching only you can take them into your local metal working shop and get them refinished for a lot less than even used prices. You could refinish down about .5mm to remove occasional deep scratches.
The treadplates are the same size between illuminated and non-illuminated (LWB rears are different to SWB rears), but the illuminated ones have a cutouts with an acrylic insert that acts as the light pipe/guide which the normal ones don't have.
