New images out, very excited they kept the changes minimal.

First question: Can we retrofit those gorgeous LED headlights onto our cars?

I asked Adam Hatton that question a few weeks ago in New York, and his answer was, "I think you'll be pleased..."

So who do I reach out to in Jaguar USA parts to get this process started?

 

Have I had one too many glasses of wine, or am I really seeing a chrome "V8" medallion positioned below and towards the rear of the chrome fender vent on the blue model in figure one? No, it can't be, I haven't seen one of those since the nineteen sixties. Good grief! Tell me I'm wrong.

 

When you find out the cost, let us know if you're pleased.

 

Thanks for the update mate...I love it! And also happy that they did not change the body style too much...makes us owners of the earlier models quite happy that our cars won't depreciate even further!

 

Do you think my insurance company would believe that I just happened to drive into a corner fence railing that took out both the headlight assemblies but nothing else?

Option two: take out a second mortgage on the house and let my children pay it off after I pass.

 

I had replaced my left headlight assembly this year due to it being cracked by a small rock being kicked up by a car in front of me and the assembly was $1,695.00/msrp. the insurance paid for that and the 2 hours labor for replacement. I think that the new LED units will be similarly priced.

 

So, about $3,650.00 to replace two headlight assemblies.

Gee, that's exactly what I paid for a brand new Ford Galaxy 500 four door hard-top in 1964.

Just to make my Jaguar look more like like an Audi?

I don't think so, but to each his or her own.

 

I do like the headlights.....but would not be able to bring myself to spending that kind of $$ to get them. Not enough bang for the buck.

 

Here's what the new LED DRL lights look like on video from the Bloodhound SSC car. Very elegant look on the car. I'd pay $4000 in a second to have them on my '11 XJL. Keep in mind, there's an aftermarket on eBay to recoup some of your cost for your original lights, so it's not going to be quite as expensive.

 

Anybody notice the rear taillights?

 

I too am glad they did not make a radical change.

 

Yep, don't much care for the new rear taillights...I much rather prefer the current ones which look like Big Cat claws!

 

My better half has completely fallen in love with the cats claws rear light on our 2013 XJ :-)

 

Change for the sake of change is planned obsolescence. The "cat' claw" taillights on the 2011-2015 XJs are so cool; why would anyone mess with them, and for what possible reason?

 

Does anyone know of any dealer in the UK that will fit these newer shape lights?

 

same here other half loves the rear lights on my 2011 xj
