Hello rothwell...

Now I may be crazy BUT - I think the plugs for the fuel injectors are the same as for the lights... I was unable to find my order for pigtails. I think I ordered them off some random site once I located what I thought I needed.

What you can do is just disconnect one of the FI plugs and take your socket/bulb holder piece and see if it will fit. Its been a while but I think that will allow you to test for fit for the pigtails in this link...

Here you go JayJagJay: Inquiry Jaguar parts, XK8, XJR, XKE, XJ, XK, S Type, Jag Spares,

I bought a very nice used set (passenger and driver side) for $50 each and $20 shipping to SW Florida. Dan was very helpful, took pics and sent them to me before any money changed hands. Very pleased to deal with them in the future.

The marker lights definitely use EV1 type connectors.

I don't know if they match the connectors on the XK8 FI system. Never compared those.

'Discovered today that my right rear light was out. Do we begin the repair by removing the red lens? How please?

It takes a nudge from the rear to slide the lens forward and collapse the spring clip. Then you should be able to pull it towards you.

Here is a pic that shows what the clip looks like.
