Look for headlight lens replacement on 1/25/15

So, today I replaced the headlight lens on my 1999 XK8. I don't have time right now to assemble the post as I'm headed out the door. Why the pre-announcement? Because I want everyone to know that I did it with the wheel arch still on the car, the front fascia still on the car, half a handful of tools and it only took 90 minutes, including a short break for lunch.

Look for it tomorrow....

The JTIS procedure (which I've used on a 2001MY) doesn't call for removal of either the wheel arch liner or the front bumper:
