2010 LED Tailight Conversion Kit Updates?

2010 LED Tailight Conversion Kit Updates?
Any updates on the 2010 LED Tailight Conversion for those who have pre 2010? I remember someone had done the swap but had the "Bulb Out" on the dash which I don't want. Just wondering if there is any conversion kit/wiring harness now to convert to the '10 LED Taillights without throwing any codes. Don't want to go through the route of load resistors as it could be a fire hazard.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Looking at the harnesses in the catalog, it appears that they did change for 2010. There's a different bumper harness (for the outer taillights) and a different trunk lid harness (for the inner/reverse lights).
If I could get a local member with a 2007-2009 XK/XKR to guinea pig this... we might be able to orchestrate a group buy.

For all four lamps, forum members are looking at $1084.
For the harnesses, depending on which vehicle, $135 (XK) or $58 (XKR) for the outer taillight harness, and $62 for the trunk lid/reverse light harness.
Again, this does not appear to be a plug and play solution by any means. The harnesses in particular, I have no way of knowing if they'll be compatible unless I get a car in here to test it on. Technical items like these are way clearer when I see them in person versus digital photos and explaining over the phone.

I will be willing to work with you on this project.
I am ASE certified master technician with over thirty years experience.
One project I have successfully completed was installation of Navigation system in my 04 XJ8, G12572. Fabricating wire harness and connectors. Note my jag did not have the new harness C2C 23835. Installed bluetooth plus made wiring harness for that also. I have tougbook and VCM and the latest update software V122 for programming.
My local Jag dealer told me that it was not possible. I proved that I could. They were amazed
My 07 XKR B11716. If you are willing to offer special discount for taillights and harness for my effort, I will provide pictures and detailed instructions. Let me know if your game. It could be win win for both of us.

My XKR is at the local speed shop with the 2010 tail lights to figure out how to retrofit them. They went ahead and ordered the load resistors so hopefully it will work without any "bulb out" in the dash once the resistors come in. They did mention I probably do need the 2010 reverse light harness for it to work due to the dual reverse light on the 2010. I contacted Dan to order this harness. He's a stand up guy and I would definitely recommend him if you need to order any parts.

Quick update.....the shop installed the first load resistors (not sure the watts/ohms) and they made the brake lights go crazy when pressing the brake pedal. They installed the 2nd load resistors (I assume larger) and everything is working fine but "Bulb Out" in the dash. They are still trying to figure out a way around it.
