I don't know about an XE, but, hopefuly same rules apply to all current Jaguar models.

1)Below the sterering column, grab the knee panel down, it's held by 2 or 3 clips. Once you get the knee panel down you'll be able to see the brake light swith touching the brake pedal. To get it out, just twist the brake light switch "clockwise" and unplug it from the wiring harness.

2)Plug the the new switch in to the wiring harness and when installing this time twist the switch to the base "counter-clockwise". Now, install the the knee panel. You're done. No tools needed, though if you have a hard time getting the knee panel out, a Plastic Car Trim Panel removal tool will do the trick.
