Sean, thats great news and in time for the holidays!

With the holiday season upon us, I don't foresee anything happening until mid-January. Maybe we can use this time to add to our group.

We need to make sure this thread stays on the "front page". We now need at least 1 more person, but no reason to stop there...

Vinni's already down, we need at least 2 that feel the need, got to say it'll transform the look of the cars to monochrome, using high power orange led's is another thing I'm looking forward to fitting...(nearly every other bulb in my car is led)

I think you just said in the opposite way

I have euro car and all lights are fitted with bulbs, even the side ones. COD
the $180 is for the front 2 only. And yes they're 'plug and play'.

I found this link showing a black XJR with clear light lens, thought it might help people get an idea of what your car will look like. please dont lower your or use those wheels though.

@Roger77... boy do I hate that car in the link... It is
typical of the tuner's taste for a Jag. Stupid
wheels, an ugly leaper that they bought, because
Germans love leapers and don't particularly care how
good of one it is, and the stupid "stance" and vinyls
befitting a Mustang...

I think the clear lenses suit someone who prefers change,
not necessarily improvement, just a dynamic attitude and
desire to make it different. I think $180 sounds absurd,
given how nice the contrast amber looks.

Not my taste either, but it was the only photo I could find of clear lens on a black car

@Sandy, I edited to not say Germany, I had
Arden in mind but the webpage was good
old Sverige...

In terms of changing the wheels, there are
a few options out there... this is one of my
very favourite...

IMO, going white all around is too much. White upfront is cool. I'm planning to do a ting on my 01 XJR and am planning to darken the side markers. Not sure how that would look like but since the tape is removable, the only setback will be the extra $50 the guy wants for all 4 side markers.

I'm only interested in the front two also. Smoked I think, they look too 'white' in the picture Roger posted, now a 'clear' lens like the one Prototype posted of the Porsche, but it depends on the foil reflector finish Klearz can do....

@ ian - Jaguar charge $200 for each indicator, so $180 for 2 isn't bad, whatever the colour

@ Roger - they wrecked the look of that car with the screen advert and silly wheels, I bet it goes through suspension bushes. Too far into 'Ricer' territory....I agree with the 'BMW' wheels - I've got a full set and was going to put them on my 100, but it looks so good on BBS Montreal's - just right, I think the 20's don't look as good and would be negative on the handling front. 19's are the max I think with these cars. But that's only my opinion - I'll save the Perseus for the XKR...

They look better without a leaper.

I'm beginning to realize that I'm entering the pipe and slippers phase (turning 56 this year)
I really like the leaper, is it my memories of older jag sedans as a kid, It does look clean though.
