Thanks alot for the tip. I'm gonna undertake this project as soon as i get the metric set and the torx. Appreciate the link

 

Hey guys, just joined this forum to say thank you sooooo much BRUTAL. I noticed that my dad's jag's lights have been pointing down recently and he went down to the dealer to check out what's wrong with them and see how much they'd charge to get them fixed. Needless to say, the shop said it would cost in the 2k range to get them replaced. I've been looking around for a solution like this and so glad I stumbled onto this thread, this saved so much money and now my parents don't have to panic every time they go down a road with no street lights.

I tried this fix last night and worked really well and is really simple, saved a ton of money on this too. Once again, thanks a lot!

 

Hi Brutal,

I would like to purchase HID headlamp assembly for both driver's side and passenger's side. I have a 2003 S Type R.

I heard through the forum that you sell these refurbished.

Please send me pics of what you can offer and pricing.

Thank you!

James

 

do you have hids now or looking to change to them? And if you have them now, whats wrong with the ones you have?

 

I have one that is blown....could use a new one....auto-adjusting unit...

 

Brutal,

Thanks for replying.

My 2003 STR headlamps are cloudy and old looking. I have used the product with various grits of sandpaper on the outside and this has not improved them whatsoever.

Plus, the lights are stuck in the down position and I am not handy enough to perform the repair correction posted within this thread.

So I'd like to purchase two working HID headlamp assemblies and have them installed by the dealer. The autoleveler would then work properly as well.

Please help.

 

just so we're clear you do have hid stock? Cause otherwise i can wire them to be used in place of halogen.

 

Hello brutal thanks for tip on fixing hid lazy eye. I have the one with the chrome piece inside, let me get this right, drill and insert screw till it touchs chrome piece. Right? What part of the chrome piece is it supposed to touch? Top? Middle? I get the idea of how it will work, just not sure on where exactly to insert screw. Your pic was clear but i dont have that white piece as in your pic. Thank you Qbin

 

Hi, I'm new to this forum..
but what I'm reading here is very helpfull.
I also have a quastion for Brutal..
I have a 2004 jaguar S-Type and as many of us problem with headlights. I took uppart my headlights and swich that plastic from my other headlights wich i got at junkyard, but after I install them back on my car the self leveling or adjusting mecanism does not working at all even on the other light wich I dont even toch...
Is there a need's to reprogram or reset the headligts after installin them?
Than'ks!!!

 

I made a how to video of how to do this fix per BRUTAL's instructions I'll post the direct link in here in case anyone gets here and is still unclear.

This is the same video in the FAQ's video and multimedia section.

 

Sweet video bro! What size screw did you use by the way for that job?
...any chance you can make a video on how to replace an Air filter, with Baffle flap removal thats located in the air box? I know replacing an air filter is easy but its always nice to show whats the easiest way to remove the air filter cover off without breaking the small clips around and replacing it back on. About the Baffle Flap removal if you can't remove yours or already have done so, could you just show where its located in the air box and screws to remove it?

Thanks again Vance, keep it up

 

I show the screw in the video its an 8X1" sheet metal screw. 8 refers to the thickness of the screw and 1" is the length. I removed my baffle but I'll get a vid up tomorrow on where its at and how to remove.

 

....thanks Vance in advance , look forward for the video.

 

Brutal ur amazing, great tip. Saved me 1000.00 bucks.

 

Hey Brutal, I tried this and it worked just fine on my 2003 S-Type. i did however use stainless #12Truss screw and cut the tip off and took it to the grinder to put a flat edge on the front. i didn't like the idea of that point digging nto the chrome plastic. Thanks so much for the tip, now it's off to learn how to replace the Xenons. I have one that starting to go....Later

 

*Bumped* Going to do this in the next few days. May have to run to the store and get the right screw though.

 

Geez youde think ide have a 100 thankyous from this thread alone

 

I noticed I have the same issue, I usually just leave the lights on High and no one flashes me. I'll have to try this method. Thanks

 

LOL

I think the Thanks system just suddenly arrived and not that long ago.
