>> Has the car got projector lenses? Why not fit aftermarket HIDs rather than LEDs.
There are a vast number number of items on Jaguar X type forums on the subject of retrofitting HIDs. Conclusion is ..Forget it if you want to be legal.
Just changing to HIDs is not legal. HIDS must have at least self leveling
IIRC the whole light unit also needs replacing so it has the correct markings on it ( £500+ each ?)
Some MoT stations passing X types with HIDS appear to be ignoring the regulations.
I am not aware of any X type that has been fully retrofitted with HIDs.
IIRC even the steering column needs replacing
IF the parts are available plus fitting , the cost of fitting etc would be very very high.
Who would take on the job?
HIDs were a standard fitting on one model of the X type
It was also an optional extra on some models but very rarely chosen.
I do not know if any S types had HIDS fitted at the factory so fitting legal HIDs may be impossible.
