Default F-Type Headlight

Does anyone know whether the headlight lens cover can be changed. Mine has microblistering and to replace the headlight by Jaguar is over £2000 each side plus fitting! Obviously it will be much cheaper if I can just change the lens cover. Is this possible and if so, has this a Jaguar part number?

Don’t think so, based on what I’ve read on here. Full replacement I believe.

I think not possible. Lens is welded to the assembly.
Do you guy’s have something like Car-Part.com?

It is possible. Not easy, but possible. See the thread below.

Default Probably no cure...

Had this happen with my 2017. Followed most, if not all the posts/threads.

Doesn't appear that the cracks can be polished out.
There have been reports of owners successfully separating the lens from the HL body, ir order to replace the lens.
There are 'used' HLs for sale, but whether or not those have the microcracking or possibly develop it is not known.
I submitted my HL microcracking to dealer under warranty in 2021, with a copy of the TSB. Not sure where it fell through the cracks, but the Vision Pack headlights were finally replaced with new HLs in May of 2025.
And yes, new replacements are obscenely priced.
