This video is about Jaguar X-type headlight change and not only bulb replacement, but improvement. The majority of Jaguar X-type drivers suffer from poor headlights, if only their car doesn’t enjoy a xenon lights option. But the high beam lights remain unsatisfactory in most cases.
Here I bring to your attention my way of fixing this problem, my so-said life hack. The matter is that I make use of a +130% Philips bulbs for a high beam light. Such bulbs shine brighter, I cannot guarantee 130%, but considerably brighter for sure. The only disadvantage of any PLUS bulbs is that they are equipped with thinner filaments, which produce more light, but don’t last long. Such bulbs are very sensitive to high voltage.
But I turn to advantage the peculiarity of a Jaguar X-type supply system, which is running at 15 volts during the first 5 minutes after the engine starts and then switching to 13 volts till the end of the journey. I don’t turn on the high beam lights equipped with PLUS bulbs during the high voltage mode, which allows me to avoid PLUS bulbs burn out.
I check the current voltage making use of my Head Up display, which indicates volts in the right upper corner, but it doesn’t matter which voltmeter you prefer for the above life hack. The idea is that at 15 volts you shouldn’t turn on the high beam lights equipped with PLUS bulbs until the car switches to 13 volts.
Jaguar X-type halo headlights (high beam lights) can be improved without any additional expenses with the help of my life hack only. As for the low beam lights, I also improved them and if you are interested in my way (maybe the easiest and the least expensive one), just write about it in the comments and I will share my method of fixing Jaguar x-type headlight problems to you.

Music is too loud my friend
Hi great video, I have a question. So Jaguar that’s shown on your video it has a 2 outer headlights an 2 inner headlights ()()___()() do they all use the same type of bulbs H1 or is there something different with wattage? Sorry I’m new to this.
What is the name of the bulb?
Thanks for the video, very clear! Could you please make a review of the heads-up display you’re using in this video (or even just reply here to say what make it is, and if you’d recommend it). Thanks and hello from Ireland.
Thanks Mate, just discovered and subscribed to your wonderful channel .. Great content throughout.
My 3.0 x type has some other kind I’m having trouble with
Hi, i have 2004 Jaguar XJR Supercharged. I need to replace the head light Ballast how do i get the front bumper off?
Thank you Roman! Superb, as always. I have also read the comments. Could you explain to me as to a novice in this area: were it not about the money, which type of lamps would you install all over the car, including headlights, of course?)) I thought LEDs are the most advanced option, and they consume the least current. You say in the comments that xenon lamps are very expensive. Could you provide just a comparative quote as for all three types of new headlamps for X-Type: halogen-xenon-led, please? I mean, this type is so many dollars per lamp, and this one is so, etc… I am confused about this… Thank you once again!)
What a horrible….
Try Mercedes lights system
For some reason my red button on my key fob doesn't turn the headlights on like you demonstrated. Im sure there must be a setting that I can change??
Kindly make a video on how to solve an overheating car x type jaguar
The banjo music really hit different
Hi! Very usefull video, I just wanted to ask if I can use Philips H1 X-Treme Vision Pro150, they seem the same, but they don't give +130% but 150%, will that be a problem? Thank you in advance.
thank you for those explainations, I use a voltmeter/thermometer plug in the cigar-lighter place. Merci beaucoup de France.
Excellent description of this process. I had trouble closing the clip because it looks like metal is not there. Have to try again tomorrow. Thanks
Thank you !!!
just put led in there work much better and last longer and u don't need to clean them all the time
