Does anyone know if headlight assemblies with washers are interchangeable with assemblies without washers?

Thanks.

 

The PHYSICAL headlamp should fit fine BUT, The WW reservoir will not have the headlamp wash pump or hole to fit the pump or the hoses/fittings.

 

Thanks motorcarman. I guess my main concern is whether the connectors are the same and that the lights will function normally.

 

Does anyone know if the electrical connectors are the same for the washer and non-washer lights?

 

There are no wires to the washer on the headlamps. (only a higher pressure hose)

 

Thanks again. So the electrical connectors on these lights are all the same?

 

Not knowing what the seller means by 'automatic' headlight, I can only think of two features on a F-Type that might be considered as such.

The simple one is Auto High Beam Assist (AHBA). This will 'automatically' turn on/off the high beams given specific conditions. This can be turned off using the dashboard controls. Check the iGuide for specifics on the 2016 model.

The other one is much more complex. AFS, or Adaptive Front Lighting Systems, dynamically adjusts the direction and/or intensity of the headlight beams. For example, if another vehicle is detected, the bulb might pivot, or a portion of the beam pointing directly at that vehicle will be dimmed. Another example might be having the bulb pivot when making a turn. Obviously, these are safety features that require a lot of sensors as well as headlights capable of making such adjustments.

It's important to note that, until a new ruling by the NHTSA on Feb 15th, 2022, AFS systems were illegal in the United States, although very common in the rest of the world.

I have no idea how JLR disabled AFS in the US market, but I could see it being done either with fixed software configuration base on market - using the VIN - or (surprise!) neutered headlamps. Perhaps the seller obtained one of such headlamps... or was told so by his source.

Also, for the 2021 model year (my car), only the "R" models offered AFS. I suspect that was the same in 2016. I did find where someone is offering a remanufactured headlight for a "Coupe with Factory Adaptive Headlights". Maybe the seller didn't buy one of these.

Alternatively, perhaps the car was originally for the Canadian market, where AFS might have been legal all along. (Gregory... could you confirm?)

Just my nickel's worth.

 

WTF they stopped making these cars in 2005

 

I picked up the car today. The "!" light flashes when the headlights are on only, and I noticed that the left headlight, which is original to the car, does indeed both turn left and right and has automatic bright/dim. I was playing with it in my company's shop, where I am now. It wouldn't be a bid deal if the dang light didn't flash! If it was steady I doubt it would bother me. Oh well. Hopefully there is a way to get into the software and disable that somehow. It's got to be cheaper than dropping 4 grand USD on a new headlight...

 

Best advice is to make sure the forum's battery is fully charged, or maybe do a hard reset, or better still admin turn off the dumb Related Thread feature to avoid trapping innocent posters in the wrong forum like this.

 

What do you mean by flash? Is it just intermittent flickering. Do you have HID light with ballast ?
if you have ballast it might be a ballast problem.
you can buy them over Amazon and they work great.

 

It's an F-type - they are in the wrong forum due to commenting on a different thread due to the related thread feature.

 

The connectors are different on the Xenon lights vs the Halogen units.

 

What is even the point of these? If it's raining, the rain will have the same effect as the headlight washers right..

 

The built in sprays act more like a jet washer .

Still in the wrong forum

 

Haha good catch.. thanks anyways
