Your videos are one of the reasons I now own an XK8, so a genuine thanks to you. Also my fog lights don't actually work, and the buttons don't illuminate but I'll try new bulbs and maybe some switch cleaner first. Now I know how it's done!

Thank you so much for this video!!! I've had one "foggy" light since I bought this car 3 and a half years ago. I've consulted all the forums and even my local Jaguar independant specialist who all seem to think you have to remove the front bumper, or at least the splash plate under the front end to get at the lamp body. After your video it took me about 20mins and at last it is clean. Thank you, it has been driving me mad.

Great video, amazing how different they are from mine, I did a foglight change out on my 98 Jaguar XjR 4 months ago on my channel

Mitch Grooms thanks! Yeah I’m so glad it was a quick fix to get the mist out of them, didn’t fancy buying and fitting a new unit, not much room to play with in that bumper!

Mitch Grooms The XJ should have a black panel (under tray) between the bottom of the bumper and engine. It protects the rads

That cover was tricky but managed to drop the light down and get through to clean the lens. Turns out they’re opaque anyway!😂. Cheers anyway- I know what to do for access

Cool video and design. If water develops drill a hole in the bottom to keep light vented.

Hi! Nice video and very good description of the job at hand. But how is that going to fix the underlying issue of the lights fogging up in the first place? This seems to be more a remedy for the symptom by cleaning, than an actual fix. Wouldn't you agree?

Great vid but sadly trying to move the tangs far enough to allow the unit to drop ...... just too difficult. I could see that the tangs were moving a couple of mm but it seems as if the unit is suck fast. Any thoughts.
@granblogismo

Hmmm I’m trying to remember now as it was a while ago, I think those tabs only move a couple of mm so I think you press them out to the side then pull that side of the unit back just past the tab so it doesn’t click shut ie one side held in by tab and the other now just stopping it returning, then you do the other side which frees the unit to swing down. Failing that you might have to get the wheel off and the wheel arch liner out to get more room/hands on it
