Default RE: euro headlamps on 96 xjs

Having just done this same thing to my 95 about 6 months ago, I'll be happy to help. All you need is the headlight brackets from ANY older quad headlight XJS, they all fit. You'll need the chrome headlight surround, and the lights, of course. The wiring is a direct color matchup, only the plugs are different, so, wire them direct, or install spade connectors as I did so you can unplug if need be. On your car you'll have a small red wire that goes to the tiny light in your headlights, and you won't have the tiny light on the older lights, unless you do a modification. I just cut the red wire and taped it up. Check out my photos in the XJS section, theirs a post about adding pictures of our XJS's, and you'll find a link there for mine. Any more questions, feel free to contact me. Good luck, you'll love the look, and being able to actually see the road at night. Keith.
