Default Has anyone seen this headlight accessory?



I want to get the headlight cover in the above photo repaired/restored due to the holes in it but I don’t know who to send it to. I’ve never seen another set ever.

Any ideas or more information available as to the whereabouts these came from?

I found them here. Part number is JLM20435 and Jagbits supposedly has them in stock. They're called, headlamp protective cover set

https://www.jagbits.com/product/JLM20435.html

As to repairing them, you may want to look to the folks that do fiberglass or high temp plastics in your area? They may be able to coat them or do a filler like you would for windshield repair as the chemicals are similar.

Thanks CK. I looked all over the ones I have for a makers mark or numbers of some sorts to no avail. I knew about tinted/blacked out headlight covers for other vehicles but I didn’t even know about clears, much less for our cars being available. The top link gives an idea of what they might look like but the bottom link is just a lens only cover vs a whole component cover.

Thanks Extheatrekid. I never even knew Jaguar had these made.

I have a NOS set of these, but I’ve never installed them. Do they replace the bezel around the headlights? Or how do you install them? I haven’t gotten around to trying to install them yet.
