Does anybody know where the fuse is for the main headlights pls I have a 2004 xtype have changed the bulb and nothing happened so need to know what fuse to change thanks. If anybody has a copy of the owners manual I'd be very greatful
look inside owners manual in glove compartment look up bulb replacement in the back index it will show and tell you how to replace headlight bulbs. be sure to wear clean gloves, because headlight bulbs or halogen type bulbs, if oil from hands or skin touch the halogen bulb it will cause halogen light bulb overheat and blow out.you can go by auto parts store when you buy new headlight bulb the salesperson will go out to vechicle and replace headlight bulb for you wont charge you any thing.just charge you for the headlight bulb.
All Jaguar X type headlight bulbs are H-1. Any auto parts store will carry it. No matter the quality, just ask for H-1. What you want to spend depends on you.
This is not really a solution, but more like a thought.. If the wiring is bad.. you'd be more likely to be shorting out, blowing fuses.. Have you checked the voltage regulator? If it's spiking from time to time, could blow head lights, without necessarily blowing other things. Have you checked the headlight mounts. Vibration could cause them to go out offten. You did not say how often they blow ! Or if they go together or one at time. [One thing I noticed with high performance bulbs, they seem to last almost exactly one year. (Give or take a month )]
Open the bonet and look directly behind the headlamp and you should see a black plastic cover with 2 steel clips holding it onto the headlamp. Push the clips to the side and remove the cover. Do not remove completley as it will be difficult to refit. Just so you can get you hand to remove the connector. Remove and replace bulb
do you know what H type of bulbs you have? some are just a twist other have a clip that needs to be pressed and let fold down to allow bulb removal.
in the engine comartment behind where the headlight are there are either rubber boots or clips that need to be removed to expose the back on the buld. remove the retaining clip as mentioned above or gently twist he bulb to remove it. now remove the old bulb from its holding wire.
when inserting the new bulb do not touch the glass as oil from the skin and disrupt its performance. reverse the removal process and do the same on the other side.
NOTE: the new bulbs elements are in a slightly different postion in the bulb than the old ones (no two bulbs are exactly alike) for best visibilty have you headlight realligned after bulb replacement.
