Fog Light Replacement?
Does anyone know how to get to the fog lights? In my other car, there is a trap door underneat that you can open and easily get to the foggies. Don't see it in the XKR. Any info on how to get to the foglights to replace the bulb would be appeciated.
Thanks!

RE: Fog Light Replacement?
FactoryJaguarTech,
I was able to gain access to the fog light assembly through the fender liner. I see the wire connector behind it but how do I get to the foglight bulb for replacement? I don't seeany instructions on how to replace the foglight bulb in the manual. Thanks!

RE: Fog Light Replacement?
Was there any news on this? I'm looking to replace my fog bulbs with some LED bulbs so they're a closer colour match to the xenons.
Is it as easy as removing thearch liner after all or is there something more to it?

RE: Fog Light Replacement?
I did install the LED FogLight and it was terrible. The single LED did not illuminate very bright and so I replaced it with the Hyperwhite Xenon Match bulbs. It's still not that great. I was about to purchase the HID Foglight but I'm going to wait to see what the '10 front fascia facelift looks like before getting the kit. If I like the new fascia, I might upgrade and the fogs might have a different bulb type. You can access via the fender liner but it's very tight....especially the driver's side from what I remember. You will need to also turn the wheel to one side to get to the bulb. Best would be on a lift though. I'm going with HID Foglights down the road a'la what I did with my Benz.

RE: Fog Light Replacement?
bmw745ion19s....I know what you mean. But these car depreciate so fast....what's another few thousand down the toilet...LOL. Just kidding. On my previous vette....I upgraded to an aftermarket rear fascia....when I went to sell it, the dealers did not add or subtract on the price. I did realize more people were interested and easier to sell with the rear fascia when I sold it privately....but again didn't get a penny more than what the market was going for. The new facelift has to be a homerun before even considering the switch on my part.
