Hi everyone,

I am considering a xenon headlamp conversion to my '98 XJR. Anyone know if:

a) It is possible,
b) How much it may cost,
c) Any specialists who can do the work,

Many thanks in anticipation of your superior knowledge. I look forward to hearing from members in the know.

Best regards to you all,

Bill hi there is an article in the ELECTRICAL section on Zenon headlights
......Joe

Thanks for that Joe. Hust had a read and I certainly will not be getting involved in fitting different bulbs.

I will contact my local Jaguar dealer for their advice.

Will let the forum know what they say.

Regards

Bill the Zenon headlights are a contention with Dave (Admin) read his report and maybe the alternative is the option, a much simpler choice too
it involves just changing bulbs..........Joe

I fitted Xenon bulbs in the headlights of an XJ40 I owned about 5 years ago and they were a great improvement for night driving. WARNING, however, when I put them in the sidelights (the ones set into the front bumper) so that they showed the same colour light, I was given an MOT failure - apparently they were not legal as sidelights.

Hi Mike,

Was your car failed because the sidelights gave a blue hue?

If that is so then they were right to issue a failure. Although common sense could have prevailed and they could have said go change them and we will issue a pass.

Regards

Yes turkeybill - a blueish light which looked great on a pale blue car. From then on, I kept a set of ordinary bulbs for MOT use only!!!
