Does my 2001 xk8 convertible have a “reflective” or “projection” type housing for low beam headlight bulbs? I am finding that some LED bulbs perform best if the housing is reflective type? Thanks

 

It's got projectors.

 

Wirebender23,

Here's a picture of the front of the car showing the projector lense on the RHS.



Lots of LED conversion kits available and forum members have tried out a few. Here are a few links to recent positive experiences.

I suspect you are quickly reusing an old photo, but I believe that the thing in the circle projects water...

 

... Sorry

Dale is right. Old photo of my disassembled front head lamp. Couldn't see the red circle on the iPhone. That's the problematic power washer unit slotted under the headlamp unit

Still I think wirebender23 will get the idea, of what the projector lense is, from the photo.

 

Here's a corrected pic showing the projector lense highlighted in a red circle.
