Where did you source those square LEDs inside the headlight? I have a spare unit that I was going to play around with to try and do the same thing.

Looks nice and thanks for the inspiration!

Kudos. Wondering if you dont have any warning lights on a dash (bending lights error or blown bulb)?!

Also very interested in getting your opinion on aftermarket laser beams (vs OEM HID).

Best regards

Thanks. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3278...3a994c4dRCj3rQ this have the dimming function but beware,,, that is not!1 an easy fit even if it looks so.
I had to disassembly complete, refitting the reflectors one by one to angle them straight forward from bord to fit jaguar glass angle on the circuit board ,, and cut out every "square" with frame and put them infront of reflector direct on bord.

Hi. sure. no electrical fail at all,, the led drivers that comes wit light fix that. The low beam is not so much different,, slightly sharper assymetric line and some brighter,,, I can also notice that my led low beam is more fully covered , when the hid was getting more diffused on the outer edges. The big different is when using hi beam (i am using that lot here in Sweden and i love to drive in darkness for several reasons ). Original construction for hi beam is a joke!! When i was in my headlights to fit drl I noticed that hi beam when activated its only a tiny piece of metal that moves away,, rest of the reflector about 45% is still covered with metal that block the light from reflector to reach the optic lens. My new hi beams is a combo of low beam and high beam leds + a extra led laser tube that throws light very far,,, looks some funny when AFS working in darkness . but it does the job supreme. So if you need high beam,, its optimal,, if u drive only daytime,, no need for uppgrade to led.

led fitted in Oem AFS

laser led hi beam

Lights are okay, but that black bumper insert has got to go away.

yes,, I have fitted that one also in my lights,, but that is only a rubber led tube,,, 10 euro.
And in my opinion thats far away from bling,, fitted,, it looks cheap,, and with lights off, the rubber is greyich,, but thats only my vision of course and every one have diffrent taste

I'd love to see it live and I only live a couple of miles from you!
I could PM you my phone number so we can set a date?

I didn't do THOSE fancy lights, but I did just install these fancy mirror signal lights I got from eBay... someone else posted them also which is why I bought them:
They are also black instead of clear lenses over chrome, so that's also a benefit!

I just got back from a ~2500 mile road trip to Glacier National Park. The car performed beautifully the entire trip. We even managed to a squeeze a third person in the back seat for some time while driving to and from the park. There were no warnings or issues the entire trip, even after taking the car "off road" (some gravel roads) and even while cruising at 90+ mph in the middle of a heat wave (99 - 106 F temps) with the AC blowing. I will post more details and some pictures once I recover from the long drive and sort through the photos.

Default Nice 5L convertible

Went to our local bread bakery this afternoon and saw a very nice XK parked on our Main Street. Rhode Island plates but not a car I had seen before. Beautiful day for top down driving!
