The HID ballast is bolted to the bottom of the headlight so it's a headlight out job I'm afraid. There are two types of ballast (4 pin and 12 pin) that look very similar. Our ones are the 12 pin type which are also more expensive than the 4 pin ones.

12 pin part number LAD5G not to be confused with 4 pin part number LAD5GL. These are generic parts that are used on a variety of different makes, not just jaguar specific.
