Illuminated tread plates.

Illuminated tread plates.
For cars that dont have the illuminated tread plates (like mine) there is the option via the T2R6090 accessory to upgrade them. It is a bit of a daunting job though as quite a bit of disassembly is needed. Anybody thinking of doing it themselves might find the attached helpful.

I think illuminated tread plates can be cool on some cars, but I don't think the F-Type is one of them for two reasons. One, the F is a relatively small vehicle and can only carry so much signage before you start to feel crowded, and Two, JLR has put "Jaguar" on a lot of surfaces already, door handles (2), wheel caps (4), engine vents (2), air vents (4), lights (2), trunk, grill, info panel, mats (2), and of course, the tread plates (2). Enough already.
(Personal opinion, of course. There is no right answer. Only what you like and what makes you happy.)

I put a set of these in shortly after I got the car, they look great, child's play to fit, and never had a single problem with them: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2x-JAGUA...oAAOSwSRVanPpQ

Plenty on Fleabay, just search using "Jaguar F-Type projector lights".

And, I love the illuminated tread plates on my Jag. Guests always comment on them favorably too.

I think member FR500GT managed to get them off intact by using a heat gun / blowtorch(!) to soften the glue holding them on (double sided tape), and then gently prying them up.

If it helps to see where the glue tape runs here is a photo from when I replaced mine with the British Design version which I much prefer over the stock, the smoother finish to the aluminium I really like.
Can confirm I did pretty much destroy the previous ones and almost destroyed some fingers even with heat gun and pry tools.
