I need help with a 2003 xk8 coupe I am rebuilding. Does anyone know were I can buy or the part number of the rubber gasket/seal that goes around the headlight assembly. Also what would be the fair value of a set HID headlights. Thanks in advance. Hope everyone has a great New Year. Ron

 

Check on EBAY, there's tons of headlights on there. Just type in XK8 headlight. I actually saw a 2003 XK8 headlight on there today (1/1/2016) I noticed it because of the black headlight statement.

 

Thanks, will check it out.

 

Hi Guys,

I have a 2005 XK8 s which I have just removed both headlights refurbed and fitted all new bulbs.
Unfortunately when undoing the ludicrous screw under the light assembly it shattered both plastic mouldings.
Anyway have found a work around for that and refitted them...horrendous job, mine have the high intensity HID bulbs plus headlamp washers, took over 6 hours to reinstall.
However on turning the lights on, the dipped beam need altering, which aI did
with the circled white screw (pic attached), great works fine, but the nearside HIGH/MAIN on the nearside needs to be adjusted lower. Well I been on every site plus the workshop manual and nobody has any info on the Main beam adjustment.
PLEASE DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF YOU CAN ADJUST THEM AND IF SO WHERE IS THE ADJUSTER.
Thanks
Bob

 

Probably due to the stepper motor that is part of the low beam projector only. If you can't program it (Hid module) you need to trick it somehow. I remember years ago connecting power to the headlight while on my steep driveway and it threw the aim off considerably. Check the swiitch that monitors the level of the body at the rear end and adjusts the stepper motor to compensate.

 

What I’ve circled in yellow will give you more adjustment.
