New LED Project done: Illuminated Mina Grille
Hey guys just thought I would share the newest LED project I just finished. After looking on the forums and seeing guys placing LEDs behind the trunk plinth, I went to autozone and bought 2 of their Alpena Diamondlights (super bright white LEDs). I was messing around with the extra set and thought it would be a cool idea to place it behind my mesh grille. I loved the look so much I ended up finishing it that same night I was messing around with the lights.
Very easy to install using 3M double sided tape, and just piggybacked the lights to the parking lights. Very bright and have already gotten complements on the first day! Makes my X type dramatic even at night, and matches nicely with all of my other LEDs. Plus it serves as an underhood light!

Those are actually just my LED parking lights that I bought off of ebay. They are really bright and have a crisp, white look to them. My high beams are still regular halogens, so in all of these pics highs are off.

Really cool! It's interesting to see the different response you get on the X type forum. When I modify either my XF or XK8, all these codgers beat me up!! You guys have a lot more fun!! I miss my X type!! Lol
And I LOVE me some LED strips!!! You should light your growler badge like I did on my XF rear boot. It's red led puck light.

I definitely want to do the light up button but your's looks so much cooler because it is red!
