The right rear side marker on my 2008 Vanden Plas has stopped working and and is filled with water. The dealer wants $428 to replace it, an amount that seems outrageously high. I have found a used one for $80. Does anyone know how difficult it is to replace the side marker?

 

In the right model year forum, I'm sure you'll get a response.

Ed, my mistake. I'm new to the forum -- this is my first post.

 

Just resubmit your question in the jaguar Models (Modern)> XJ (X350 & 358) Forum Section for your car. There are also helpful posts in the How To Section regarding many home maintenance project like oil changes and brakes.

Fortunately I have a 2004 XJ VDP which is similar. You can go to WWW.JagBits.com to find the new part for about $88.00 http://www.jagbits.com/mm5/merchant...._Code=C2C35377

It appears that unit is attached to the bumper cover. I am not sure how to remove it. You may have to remove the wheel and inner fender shield to get at it or the unit is installed from the outside.

Just copy this message and start a thread in the right section. I am sure someone has had to change this or the bulb. Fortunately your are in Phoenix so you can work on this and not be frozen like here in Milwaukee this week.
