Default side marker light

I'm having the hardest time replaceing the rear side marker light.
I removed three screws from the wheel well to gain access. pushed plastic fender out as far as I could and can see but still can't reach the marker bulb housing. any suggestions? Are my hands to large?

Welcome to the forum.

You need to ask in the model section for your year.

Hope you can work things out.

Welcome to the forum,

As Richard said, head over to the tech section and someone may be able to help.

Default Rear side marker lights

Very simple to remove lens and bulb from rear bumper (04-07 XJ8)
  • From the outside PUSH down on the lens and it will pop out - Honest a 5 second job.
  • I didn't use any tools - only my hands
  • Now if someone can tell me how to find a replacement bulb holder and connector with wire I would appreciate it. Jaguar wants about $150 for a new light unit that does not include the connector. All I need is $2.00 worth of parts.

It worked, I was so afraid it would break but it didn't. As for your bulb holder you are looking for wouldn't a local Auto parts store carry it? Its a common #194 bulb the holder doesn't have to be model specific.
