Default Headlight lens removal

Hi all Jaglovers!!

I need to replace the headlamplens on the right side. Tried to search the forum but could not find any threads how to do it.

Regards.
Joachim

This thread should help you remove the headlight assembly: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ight=headlight


Once it is out, gently pry up the tabs separating the lens housing and the body of the headlight (I think there are 2 or 3 on each long side and one on each end). The lens and the housing will then separate, it will be helped automatically by the rubber gasket pressure. Replace the lens with the new gasket it comes with.

Hi

The Lens (reflector) are they the same on both LHD & RHD cars?

It`s clear glass but I am not sure!

I think they are the same for LHD and RHD. But there are different part numbers for with and without headlamp washers. This must be specified when you order the lens.
