You’re welcome!

@ Josh Thank you, I’m looking forward to the long drive. :)

Nice work. I found I could pop off the lamp from the assembly while the assembly was in the car using the same process you used when the assembly was off the car. Always use soapy water as a lubricant otherwise, there is a danger of breaking the plastic sockets as they slide over the ball. I used this process to fix my broken lamp on my X308. I used an extra long flat blade screw driver. No realignment was needed and it took perhaps 15 minutes to remove and snap the used ebay lamp back in from the front. Thanks for posting on the Jags.

Thanks for the info Frank! That probably would have been an even faster method than I used. I am glad to hear you enjoy the content, plenty more to come :)

@@LowTechGarage I’m trying to figure out how to change just a bulb; thank you so much for your videos.

Egg-cellent work! I changed my headlights on my Celica many moons back, and it made a huge difference. Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference!

[@LowTechGarage]

So true! We will keep working on the XJR to bring it back to its former glory!

These headlights break pretty easily, a bunch of rocks came off the back of a truck on the highway and recently an extremely minor fender bender cracked one. Good video man

[@LowTechGarage]

Thank you!

Once again, thanx for posting these great detailed Jag vids. Just a warning........This car has several never ending void spaces to watch out for. One is beneath the J-gate gear shifter trim and assembly. :-)

[@LowTechGarage]

Thanks for sharing that. I will be sure to be careful around there. :)

Great job man. The outer light of right headlight unit on my XJR is sweating, so I am thinking to replace it if it gets worse (currently I'm fine with its sweat level though). If I decide to change headlight unit on my Jag, I know what to watch prior to doing that - all perfectly explained.

[@LowTechGarage]

Glad I could help!

[@MitchGrooms]

great

[@ramonswan9350]

I think a rock shattered my outer lens, I will be attempting this soon.

[@LowTechGarage]

Good Luck!

[@docdildonica7515]

Are these the same steps required to change the bulbs only? As far as removal of everything?

[@LowTechGarage]

You shouldn't have to remove the individual lens

[@simonqnguyen]

Do we need to replace both light? cause mine only broke one like you should i just buy one or have to buy a pair like you do?

[@LowTechGarage]

You can replace them individually. That’s what we ended up doing and kept the other item as spare.
