Default ATTENTION JAGUAR TECHS: LED Lighting Question

I love interior LED accents and to find out the F-Type had them was a pleasant surprise. HOWEVER. Like every other car with interior ambient lighting, it's very dim. Is there an easy way to remove the LEDs and replace them with higher wattage strips/diodes? It would be pretty nice to have the ability to adjust the brightness legitimately if you opted too.

And others will think this is pretty silly... but would there be a way to tie the LED's into undercarriage lighting so when you turned the car into Dynamic mode, the ground outside the vehicle went red like the interior?

Check to make sure that 'stealth mode' isn't selected on the touch screen. All this does is make the interior lighting a bit dimmer at night. (This is under 'extra features', I believe.)

It's just naturally dim I think. It's supposed to accent the vehicle, not light up the interior I guess was their logic. I just think sometimes, that it would be nice to turn it UP.

My wife has a 2013 Beetle convertible with the same 'feature' and you can barely tell it's on. Wasted feature without makign it noticeable.

I do think switching to dynamic and having exterior, underbelly LED lights go on would be cool... but that's just me.
