So I got bored while waiting on my appt to replace the engine trans mounts at the Indy.
Ordered some LEDs for the interior parts and watched a couple of videos.

The 501s / W5W / T10) were easy to find. I ordered CANBUS safe to avoid flickering.
The festoons were more of a challenge. 38mm and 44mm are not very common.
I ordered 2-3 of each type just in case in a couple of close sizes. And its amazon. So the ones I don't use will just go back.
6000 kelvin across the board.

Still waiting on the 38mm festoons for the boot and puddles, they arrive in a few hours.
*** Arrived ***

Some fun notes:
Glovebox (T10) - Gotta have tiny fingers. I don't. By the time I almost got a grip on it, I got a nice blister. Skipping this one, but probably have to remove entire glovebox to replace or sort out how to turn the light off with the glovebox open.
Puddles (38mm) - Swapped out from the original custom Jag logo door lights. Much better.
Overhead light (44mm) - I found a 44mm festoon, linked below. Only a couple out there. The contacts get loose and most LED contacts are more narrow. A gentle squeeze to tighten them up with a needlenose works great. If you've never removed that overhead console, be very careful when putting it back. There are 4 contact pins for the circuit board that have to align perfectly and will bend easily.
Map Lights (T10) - Man those are in there tight. But got them out and the new ones in with a little force.
Footwells (T10) - Fairly straightforward. But hilariously, as my 6'3" frame lay upside down in the driver's footwell, I got stuck for about 4 minutes until I realized I could raise the steering wheel up and in. No panic, I'm too old for that. Just chilled down there for a minute and cleared my head. (the driver's door is too close to the concrete garage wall, so I had to climb over the console.)
Boot lights (38mm) - Very easy to swap. Put the first one facing backwards and couldn't figure out why it wasn't brighter than the original. Spun it around and very nice.

There is a site out there that sells good quality LED sets for the jag, in the exact sizes, but by the time I selected all the above mentioned, it was almost $100 and days to get here.

Cheers!

 

worthless without pictures

 

Yeah, as soon as I finished swapping I was mad at myself for not taking before and after pics.

if anyone is interested in seeing just after pics, I can do that.

 

We all know what the before pictures look like. Send the after pictures.

 

Ask and you shall receive.

 

Now I am looking for vids on how to replace the side lights (2007-2009 side vent). No idea how to get in there.
Then it will be the headlights and tail lights.

 

Quite vibrant now, huh? That'll help you out a bit when you do the interior detail that is overdue. Mine needs one also.

 

One of my favorite upgrades so far.

About that interior detail. Brilliant of you to notice. I’ve been saving this one as a new post. And will save it a bit longer, but I have a ton of questions about what can and cannot be fixed in there.
Staying focussed on 2-3 things at a time though.

But yeah, lots of knicks and rubs.
These on both sides bother me the most:
