How to replace the headlight bulb on your Jaguar XF (removing the headlamp)

Here is how to replace the headlight bulb on your Jaguar XF.

You'll need a bulb of course:
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.



  • 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.
    Do 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.

    Brilliant and halogen lighting have a tendency to discharge a considerable measure of warmth when on, this trademark makes them a fire danger. LED strips don't create as much warmth so they are more secure to utilize.Best led light strips

    Chromium Industries has 70-plus years of experience in chrome plating. Our Hard chrome plating capabilities meet even the toughest requirements for increased surface hardness, improve service life, corrosion resistance, surface profile or texturing. This is because of our horizontal rotational method.
    Chrome is slang for Chromium, one of the 92 naturally occurring chemical elements. Chrome plating makes it suitable for a variety of industrial applications that require resistance to wear. It is also the finest metal deposition to utilize when specifications call for smooth and flawless characteristics on the roll face. Chrome will extend the life of your rolls between 2 and 5 times depending on the number of incidents you have in the stand.
