HEADLAMP

Halogen bulbs are used in the main beam 
(inner headlamp) positions.

Either halogen bulbs or the optional High 
Intensity Discharge (HID) Xenon lamp 
system are fitted in the dipped beam 
(outer) headlamp positions.

Where HID lighting is fitted, refer to your 
Jaguar Dealer if the headlamp fails to 
operate.

Caution: Halogen bulbs will be 
damaged if touched by hand or 
contaminated with oil or grease. It is 
important to use clean gloves or a cloth 
when handling a bulb which is to be 
used again. A contaminated bulb may 
be cleaned with methylated spirit 
before refitting.
