HID headlight introduction
Can anyone tell me the introduction date for the HID headlights on the XK's?
I lost three cars last summer in a house fire and now it looks as if my 560SL is going to be totaled ... after much back and forth. I bought it new so I was trying to save it ...... only 52k on it.
So I have been doing some searching just to see prices. Ideally I would want to get a low mile XKR convertible. Some of the 03's I have come across with around 40k on them look interesting. This car will be kept out in a rural area with deer all over the place - so good headlights are extremely important ... getting one with HID's would be nice.

Did all XK's come with headlight washers?
I'm seeing the chrome cover for the headlight washer on a 2002 standard XJ8. I would think the washer would be required for the HID's as in other makes so I am using the visible cover for the washers to indicate that the car has HID's.
Was the cover also on those without the HID"s? Maybe a design feature of the headlight assembly.
My hunt is really for an R as it will get me the MB trans and eliminate the VVT ... and going from 03 on will eliminate most of the early engine problems. I am assuming this from owning a similar aged XJ. All the 03 R's listed seem to have the HID's so maybe I am concerned about nothing.
