Jagaur X type xenon headlights! Annoying Caps edited out!
Summed up:
Does anyone know how to take the headlamps completely apart as I broke mine???
Happening to the X too. This is rediculous. These have got to be the worst headlights ever made in history. My first xenon headlights were broken pointing low, projector moving in the housing. So now the Brand New Xenon Lights Jaguar ordered brand new are now broken too. Whatever holds the projector to the screws in the housing broke again its just like my old ones. This is why peoples xenons point low. You can not adjust them manually bc the plastic stripping is broke off completley so the projectors aim low and jump around in the housing. Jaguar will not do anything to fix it, but all the Xenons lights brand new are broken it seems. Now I must take the assemblies apart and either weld them in the housing to one aiming point. This is stupid. Never had these type of problems with my Mercedes Benz Xenons, and Jaguars Xenons are made by Hella the same company that makes MB Xenons. I guess Hella must not cared for Jaguars Xenons bc when they manufactured them they did it with the intent of them breaking. Guess Hella doesnt like Jag it seems. Anyways I want to know how to take the whole assemblies apart. There is glue behind the glass. Any quick way of opening ? Thanks

RE: JAGUAR X-TYPE XENON HEADLIGHTS THE WORST ASSEMBLIES KNOWN TO MAN !!!!!!!!
benz2jagboy,
Here are a few suggestions to maybe get a honest resopnse to your posts.
1) put down the meth pipe!
2) turn off the CAPSLOCK!
4) qiut saying how everything is the worst ever!
3) Stop using the phrase "when I had my benz" in your posts!
You might actually get some help instead of ridicule.
Oh, and I forgot, try to hold off the !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! key

Heres what the problem looks like, I havent opened my headlights yet, but this is the problem. The part that holds the projectors to operate them manually in terms of adjust the plastic is broken on the reflector.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the X-Type. You have an STR, correct? Post your random babbling there and spare us, please.

Can you post a better pic of the broken part, perhaps a close-up view from the side?
If your brand new lights are broken, why not return them and kindly ask for replacements or a refund?

has a very good point, return the brand new defective headlights and get replacements that are not broken.

That would be waaaaay too easy. It's much more fun to keep writing these posts about how he's being victimized buy Jaguar like we are all going to pitch in and get him a new set of lights. I think if there were no problems this guy wouldn't know what to do with himself. I'm still not sure if he is for real!!!

If we tell you how to fix the lights why would you honestly listen? You have a proven track record of ignoring every single thing every one of us has suggested.
If you want to get the lights apart get on google and type in take headlamp apart. Give it a little more effort than you've given our posts in the past effort and you will find out very easily how to get the lamps apart. Usually you take the lamps and pop them in the oven and your golden. Keep in mind you dont' want to catch your house on fire and than blame jag!
BTW I edited your post, that is all you need to put not a long story about hatred toward anything but MB.

Ummmm.....just throwing this out there. Did anybody else notice where he said, I haven't taken them apart yet....but yet where is the lens? I see a headlamp assembley that may or may not be from a jag without a lens on the front of it. That in itself would be why he cannot return them. Destructive little *******.

Right I havent taken them apart. You can see inside the assembly thats the part thats broken. I paid Jaguar Dealership $1500 for new lights and they are still broken. Shame on them. Looks like a chargeback dispute if they dont fix my problem.

How do you not notice whether the lights are broken or not??? You seriously are trying to find fault towards jag which is obsurd! If you weren't such a jerk to the dealer you realize they'd help you out! If you've ever even been to the dealer to begin with! I still haven't seen pics of the ride so who knows what you have going on???
Hey FJT I think that picture is one of a broken mercedes light! Seems like their lights do break afterall!
