Good lord I spent an hour and I still couldn't get one of those sharp tiny ends pushed into that tiny hook inside that tiny space of a headlamp housing. Am I doing something wrong? Is it really this hard??!! Maybe I've bent a hook, sure wish I had enough room to let a light beam get through.

Beer me barkeep. And be quick.

 

You might get something from this 7min clip..

 

Good lighting and a mirror are mandatory, at least for me.

 

I agree.

Tried mine, HELL NO.

Arthritis in the fingers/wrist does not help.

Eventually one of the plastic adjusters let go, lamp went all loose and floppy, WHOOPEE. Much alcohol consumed.

Watched that video, very informative, but not for me now, too old and grumpy.

Got a repair kit for both headlamps, took it to a Crash Repairer, and $100 later, new adjusters, polished covers, new bulbs all done.

Perused his XJ-C V12 (1976), and the other 6 Jags he has tucked away, and consumed too much beer, so taxi home and collected the car next day.

 

Aye Carumba!

 

Glad I didn't have HIDs. Standard bulbs came out in a matter of minutes. I replaced stock with Xenon "hyper white " and they DO make a difference.
