I may need to replace the off side headlamp but am staggered at Jaguar price.Not a lot of change from a £1000.I have a 55 plate xkr 4.2s.Does anyone do a new replacement other than Jaguar.If not who can be recommended to supply a used part please.

firstly we need to know what is wrong with the light, is the glass broken, or has the unit just failed
Euro Jag always keep a good supply of parts, as does NE Jag Spares, Grublogger and many more, and of course good old ebay
If the unit is intact, it may well be the burner or ballast thst has failed IF you have Bi Xenons fitted
give us some more info and we will see what we can do for you

Agree with Rob and if it's the glass that's broken , the front section can be bought much cheaper than a complete lamp , they are only clipped together

,
Hope this helps ,

This type of part is usually easily available second hand. Just a question of looking around on the internet. Prices generally around one third of new. Great for non wearing parts.

The breakers, like Eurojag, that advertise in the magazine are good sources of spares like headlamps. Mike.
