Unhappy 2001 S-Type 3.0 - headlight bulb and breaks

Hello Jag owners,

my headlight bulbs been out for over a month now and funds are very limited. I bought headlight bulbs from ebay to save a few bucks and only lasted about a month. I need to replace them now that it get dark much sooner.
any suggestions on which brand to go with and that will last?
not looking for anything special or pricey either.

also my rear breaks sounds like they've been grinding, I've known I needed to replace them but like I mentioned above, funds have been very difficult to come by. I plan on checking out a nearby pepboys.
any suggestions on which brand and parts I'll need?

advanced thank you for any help!

Jaguar and limited funds don't work out too well. I recommend just going to your local auto parts store and asking the guys in there what part #'s you need. I got my rear brake pads from Autozone for a decent price.

Grinding brakes often mean ruined rotors (discs) too

I've never had both headlight bulbs go out at the same time -- especially twice!

Apparently there are some very expensive options for headlights, but a quick search on AdvanceAutoParts.com shows some for as little as $10.99. I've never had to replace mine, so I'm not all that up to date on which ones work, but the site says they're an exact match for my 2003 S-Type.

The brakes are not going to be cheap -- as stated above, you'll probably need rotors and pads.
