I have have a 2002 jaguar x type. I was wondering if anybody could post a picture of the stock headlight harness or describe to me what it looks like im having trouble finding it. there seems to be a HID kid that is installed and one of my headlights are out.

 

Unlikely to be stock HID on a 2002

One way is to swap the ballasts to see if the light out changes with it

You have different laws to the UK on power output so check for that before getting replacements

 

i switched the ballast and the bulbs they work on the divers side but not the passengers.

 

mrtwill, you have 2 ground wires (pins 9 and 10 as I recall, going from memory here) for HID headlights that come from the factory. Specifically, you need to be looking at Pin 10 as this is an additional ground that is only there on HID equipped headlights. So, if the rest of the lights are working in that headlight assembly, then you either have a bad ground or the fuse for the headlight on that side is blown.

If the car has had HIDs added after the fact, no one here is going to be able to really help out as the possibilities for how it was wired are too numerous and would require someone physically looking at the car to see how it was wired and take things from there. If by chance the aftermarket HIDs were spliced into the wiring inside the headlight, then I would be looking at either the fuse going to that headlight or the ground wire (can be differentiated as mentioned before by seeing if the turn signals and/or running lights work, if so, then it is a fuse issue). In short, the single ground wire setup is not really rated to handle the current load from the HIDs starting and the rest of the lights inside the headlight housing. Hence why the factory added the second ground wire.

I would also recommend pulling off the plug to the headlight assembly and checking out the pins. It may be that if this is an aftermarket setup, the system pulled too much current and it caused one of the pins to overheat, leading to it causing a higher resistance connection. This will be obvious as the plastic around the overheated pin will be brown/charred and the terminal will have a very dark color to it vice being shiny silver like the rest.

 

I figured out the problem I installed a new relay harness and that did the trick. Thank you guys for your help!

 

I too have the factory HID's on my 2002 x-type. I also have the passenger side light not working. All other lights up front work. Where was the relay you installed located?
Thanks
