You can retain the OEM Growler badge and save money by simply painting the black background with red enamel. That's what I did with my 2013 XJ a few years ago. I used Testor's dark red gloss enamel model paint that I bought at my local hobby store. It's a close enough match to my OEM red Growler wheel center caps.
I was pleased with the results, particularly since it cost under $2 and I have over half the bottle left. Pretty big bang for the buck.

Yeah, I know, I'm a cheapskate. But not so much as this guy!

Here are some night pics. Very hard to photograph but they are about the same as the 2012+ XF in LED spacing/style and brightness though now my HIDs look too warm! The LEDs are white but a bit cooler in color temp. May have to deviate from the OEM spec to a cooler head lamp.

I'd paint my OEM Growler red before buying anything like this cheap copy.
