If its like my 88 I had, it's not difficult. Mine had both harnesses already there. It should be a simple as finding a set of quad lights, with bezels, removing the glass lenses, unscrewing the 6 clips, using the same screws to install the metal bracket for quads, plug in bulbs and secure the bezels.

 

Am interested in glass euro. Pm sent to jnporcello

 

Hello,

I am out of town, but will check to see if they are glass. I think they are - they are in great shape. Clear glass, no cloudyness or chips. I just like the quad style better. Do you have those you'd like to trade?

Thanks,
nick

 

Be sure to get the 6 clips as well. And you'll need to make sure the bottom clips are marked as the bottom clips! I didn't know the sides are different then the bottom clips.
I also remember am issue with wiring the parking bulb. I had to run wires from the side markers because they weren't actually with the wiring loom for the headlamps.

 

Hi Nick, Sorry, I have a poor mismatched set of Euro that I would like to tidy up.
Hoep your trip goes well and we can do a Deal. I am in Nor Cal area.

 

I have a 1988 XJS with the quad light. Since 2 of the light is not working, I am thinking of converting it to HID or halo...any suggestions ?

 

Hello I wanted to revive this thread to see if I could get some advice on my headlights.

We have a 95 with the Euro lights and unfortunately, at some point in the past one of them was broken (the lense anyway) and now we have lenses which don't match, ie they are both OEM leaper lenses, but one is clearly older and more yellow than the other...

Anyway we really want to update or reconfigure these headlamps as they are a big detractor of the looks of the car.

I tried to find the SNG link to the quad conversion but I didn't see it in this thread. can someone repost it? Also, can the OP repost the links to his tutorial on converting his facelift XJS to the older quad style?

Finally, what kind of cost is associated with acquiring a good set of OEM quads? And the cost of the wiring conversion? forgive me I am only viewing the site on a mobile device, maybe I cannot see the earlier links which might answer my questions. thanks .

 

You might be in luck. I happen to have a set of quads that came from a 1991 XJS that I was intending on putting into my 95. He had the quads (American style from what I understand) and wanted the Euro styles I had, so we traded. I have the brackets, harnesses, bulbs, bezels and pretty much everything from the light bucket for right and left. Even some detailed pictures and instructions he had written that I would be more than happy to mail out along with the lamps if you wanted them.

I had to sell my 95 because it was more than I had resources for, let alone space to do the work myself. But I kept the lamps. NOW, I have an 89, that has the quads, so I no longer need the ones from the 91. Price? No idea. Maybe look around on the 'net and see what you find and I will halve it?

 

hmm that sounds pretty tempting but since our car is a group project I need to get some feedback from the Board of Directors before I commit to anything...

any way you could email me a few photos? then we can talk about the price.

my email is 95xjsconv@gmail.com

include a list of any other parts you might have left over, maybe we can do a package deal...

thanks for letting me know

I had the same problem with my 1994 xjs conv. It was the old convertible top that had been stretched over years of use. New top corrected the problem.

 

Hi would you be kind to send me some pics on the connections?Thanks....Art

 

Being a new jag owner can you tell me what type of headlights are on my xj-sc ? I like the look of the quads but am happy with these also,just wondered if they were a option when it was purchased. Thanks, Cheers
also, the paint is near perfect only reflections on the Bonnet

 

I believe that your car would have had the quad lights. A PO might have changed them to the "euro" style headlight.

 

I had an 88 that I changed to the glass euro style. When I changed the standard halogen to a very high powered Phillips halogen bulb from autozone, I believe about 60.00 a pair, they were light years apart in brightness and color, and I changed the small parking lights in them to the new led T10 bulb as well. Totally modernized the look without changing any fixtures. Actually changed all bulbs to led, even dash ( not that easy but not too bad with patience.)

 

I did switch back to green led bulbs in the fascia but it looked so much better even with that I could see them at night!!

 

One other fun thing I did was addd an led side lit strip to each tail light to the parking lights. Inside. They don't show at all until you turn on the lights. Could be added to brake lights instead

 

I had the same issue with my "94 xjs. It was because the top had stretched due to age, and there was no more adjustment I could make at the closure hooks. I eventually got a new top and solved the problem.

This is why im looking into retro fitting my low beams with bi xenon projectors they give amazing light and ill Even have dual Hl Beams

 

You should check with HID Illusionz. He just modified my XF headlights. He does amazing work. I now wish I'd have found the $ to have more upgrades than just blacking the interior.
