Replacing X-Type Headlamps
 
Is it as simple as popping in a new bulb? Or is there some aiming involved? The last time I aimed a headlight, it was back in the 80's and I didn't do a good job. Granted it was a 79 Ford Mustang. So I don't want to screw up my Jag. Even if it is a wagon.

Oh well. I would take it back to the dealer, but I have a good friend who is the Head Service Manager at a Honda dealership. Since the car went out of MFG warranty, he's been reliable and cheaper than the local Jag dealer.

Does the bulb just need repacement or the entire lens need to be replaced?

no no no. just the bulb.... Sabb,are you asking about changing the bulb or the whole plastic housing?

he said headlamp (bulb) not the housing

yes all you do it put the bulb in! takes a couple minutes. you have to pull the caps off the back of the lights, then theres a little metal tab you open up like a hinge, and then pull the bulb out.
