Hello All,
We purchased a gorgeous Electric Blue 2008 Jaguar XKR a year or so ago. Absolutely love the car! Great for road trips and in-town driving. A real head turner. The driver's side headlamp adaptive front lighting functionality system stopped working and we were able to find a new light for the low, low price of $600 bucks on eBay (new from Jaguar, they are $3,000 dollars!). I bought the manual and am ready to DIY. The manual makes it look relatively easy in a total of 22 steps for uninstall and install for 86.41.33. The headlamps are Xenon. Any thoughts before I unscrew myself? Thx for your help! JL & KH

 

Very simple uninstall... there are two bolts inside the bonnet for each headlight very easy to locate, then the unit pulls forward and out. ??? Is there one bolt inside the inner fender lining? Now I'm not sure, but I think there is..... Be aware that the Washer System hose needs to be disconnected underneath the unit when it comes out. All of it should take about four minutes each.
Don't forget to disconnect the electrical once pulled out a bit.

So anyway, two or three bolt/screws (plus any fender liner screws if it doesn't pull right out) and that one hose and electrical connector.

 

Three bolts, one electrical connection and one washer clip to fight. Takes about 5 minutes once you know what you're doing. Check the bolt thread positions on your new housing for a better understanding.

 

Those of us in the UK who make trips to Continental Europe soon get used to removing the headlamps to switch the low beam direction lever.

Three bolts + washer pipe connection. It helps to turn the steering to full lock to access the lower bolt inside the wheelarch liner.

Use one of these guys with a 12" extension so you don't have to turn the wheels to access the bolt inside the wheel well.

 

I've always regretted not asking for my original headlamps back when they repainted my XK.
Bet the shop made a pretty penny selling them and the fogs on FleaBay.
