You'll need a bulb of course:
- With HID you'll need: Philips D1S 35W Single Xenon HID Headlight Bulb
- Without HID you'll need: Philips H11 Standard Replacement Bulb
- If your connector inside your headlamp is burnt, here is a good link for a new connector. This only applies to the non HID set up: Dorman 84783 H8/H11 Electrical Wiring Harness
Here is how to do it.
There is three 10 mm bolts that hold the headlamp in place. The two at the top which are accesible from the engine compartment come off but the third which you can get to from the wheel arc doesn't come off, just unscrew it and it should stay in place.
- Here is a pic of the bolt from the wheel.
- Now pull the headlamp out a little bit, undo the connectors and take out the headlamp.
- With the headlamp on the table remove the back cover. The bulb comes off but twisting it counter clockwise. Unplug it, remove it and place the new one. Don't forget to plug it back and put the cover back.
- This particular car had a burnt connector. You can order a new connector and splice it in if you have the same problem. Here is a link to the new connector: Dorman 84783 H8/H11 Electrical Wiring Harness
- Here is a photo of the new connector you can order in case you have the same problem:
- Reverse the order to install :D
Hi, can you tell me whether there is a secret how to get the headlight out. I have removed the three screws and the unit is completely loose but it still won't come out.
ReplyDeleteDo you have to remove the front panel?
My XF is a 61 plate.
Thanks, Noel
Did you undo the connector? It takes a little wiggling but if there was a secret I would've mentioned it.
