The wheels are 5x108mm. Common to Volvo, Lincoln, Jag and some Ford products. American wheels will call it 5x4.25. What is critical is the offset.

Although RWD, the Jag (like other Euro Fords) take aFWD offset.

Headlight? change bulbs or put some lights in from a newer car (boneyard) that had the HID option. HIS bulbs are ok too. Although not the "correct" way to go.

Got plugs? Most likely they are your CD changer plugs. eBay is your friend for finding one that fits nicely at a good price.

S-type headlights are the epitome of garbage. Ebay HID's are great for our cars for some reason, unlike many other cars that we've heard of. No one on here has had a bad experience. I would go in that dirrection.

My S-type has the OEM hid projectors and I still think that the light output is chitty. I plan to bake them to open them upand swap in a clear lense. If that doesn't work I will swapping in new projectors.
