What did you do to your X351 today?

Yep that's the ones! But there are literally hundreds on EBay.
I try to post what I find but nothing extra to add right now. The remote trunk closer was a good one though.
Hopefully since you have the supercharged model you have added the lower pulley and VAP tune?
Best bang for the buck of any performance mod I have ever made to any of my cars. So simple to install. I have had both for almost 2 years and have had zero problems plus better gas mileage too!
Thinking of adding the Jaguar puddle lights but have not decided if that's rinky dink or if it looks OK?

This wasn't done "today", but I feel it's worth mentioning. The X351 didn't get dedicated daytime running lamps in the USA until maybe 2016MY. If you have an earlier car, I urge you to consider equipping yours with some. So many vehicles have them nowadays that cars without them are almost invisible. Even big sedans!
I'm very happy with the Hella LEDayline lamps that I installed. I fitted the 30° version, after performing this complex measurement procedure
Here is more information:
.
The finished result looks almost OEM, and mounting the lamps here provides plenty of physical distance from the turn signal. DRLs as part of the headlamp assembly often reduce the visibility of turn signals.
You may think it's impossible to not see a car as large as the XJ, but it's not!

"LEDayLine daytime running lights by HELLA combine functionality with compact design. They significantly improve the visibility of your vehicle – which genuinely improves your safety.
Because of their low installation depth, there are many options for installing the LEDayLine 15 and 30 on vehicles with a 15° or 30° angle at the installation location. These lights are a compelling choice due to their low energy consumption and straightforward installation.
Once the mounting frame has been secured to the vehicle front, the daytime running light simply clips into the mounting frame fixture.
Each set contains 2 LED daytime running lights (8 LEDs each), mounting frame, 1 changeover relay, and a pre-assembled cable harness."

Ignore the wire colors on my owners manual addendum; they're there only to troubleshoot if necessary. The relay and 3A fuse are part of the Hella kit. I used Jaguar fuse 33 as power. It is hot with ignition. The inhibit wire is tied to the headlamp feed; I think it is pink/yellow; you should be able to figure it out.
The DRLs are On at all times when ignition is on, except when the headlamps are on. OEM wiring is a little more sophisticated, but this suits my purpose just fine.

I recalibrated my suspension with my Autel 906BT. This helps big time but I think I still have some minor variance of a few mm in the front. I will have to evaluate my suspension components in the near future. 66k chassis miles.
It also is pulling open shorts from each door module after replacing the turn signals with the LED ones. Interesting, I think it might be a false positive.
Lastly, I hardly have anyone in the back seat these days, but I noticed I couldn't communicate with the rear floor console module for HVAC. I checked F7 in the rear but it looked to be intact. I didn't test the ground/power wires as there is almost no way they are damaged, but inspected them anyway. Ordered a new used part from eBAY and will report back.

Thanks for any info you can provide, as I'm preparing to install them.

They work fine. I'm pulling U module codes for open shorts in the turn signal devices - the turn signals are controlled by both door modules. They work just fine. Outside of some kind of arcing activity from bad connector, I don't think they could impact the car in any possible way. I realize the code description is a bit of an electrical misnomer. I don't see any diodes damaged or visibly impacted, so I'm not sure if this is erroneous or not.
When I installed them I did not have these codes. There's no dash lights, just this issue coming up when I run scans. I imagine there is a failure contributing to out of spec values to be returned to the module. If it gets worse, the devices will fail short. Open failure would be pretty obvious.
Also, I replaced my rear floor AC control module and things are back to normal back there, passengers can control their own fate again, all for a $40 used panel.

I need to be more patient......I read the post about the LED license plate lights adding to the clarity for the buck-up camera, so I immediately thought, "I should get a pair of them", and promptly ordered two of the. Shortly after they arrived, I noticed two issues. First, I didn't read the E-Bay ad for them closely enough, which explained that they are packaged as a "pair", in other words, 2 lamps. I ordered two, so I received 4 lamps. I went to install them, yesterday, and found that our XJ came from the factory with what appears to be LED lamps already in place.
I now have 2 pairs of "spare" lamps, in case the OE lamps ever burn out...............
