Hi Can anyone advise on changing bulbs to L.E.D.s ,  ThanksÂ
@Plest197012.11.2020 12:20MemberHey. When I tried to replace the bulbs with L.E.D on my car, I was not happy with the result and returned the old bulbs, so if I were you, I wondered if you should do it or not.- @Harry.B08.08.2025 16:15MemberFor changing bulbs to LED in your Jaguar XE (X760), hereâs a helpful overview:
The Jaguar XE typically uses HID (Xenon) or halogen bulbs depending on the headlight specification. For example, the high and low beams might be D3S HID bulbs or H7 halogen bulbs in some versions.
To replace bulbs with LEDs, you need to identify the specific bulb types your car uses: low beam, high beam, indicator, fog lights, and daytime running lights may all differ. The headlights often require specific LED bulbs designed to fit and work correctly with Jaguar XEâs projector or reflector housings.
Replacing the bulbs involves removing the headlight assembly or accessing the bulb caps from behind the light housing. For HID bulbs like D3S, you have to carefully unlock the retaining clips and electrical connectors. For halogen bulbs like H7, you twist off the dust cover, remove the bulb socket, unplug the wiring, and replace with the new LED bulb. Ensure you do not touch the LED bulb's lighting element with bare hands.
When switching to LED, check for any CAN bus compatibility issues. Some LED bulbs may cause error messages or flickering if not designed with built-in CAN bus error cancellers compatible with the Jaguar XE electrical system.
Popular LED upgrade options include plug-and-play LED replacements for H7 or H15 bulbs for daytime running lights or high beams; however, for HID bulbs (such as D3S), genuine LED retrofit kits are more specialized and might require additional ballasts or adapters.
There are step-by-step videos and illustrated guides online (like YouCanicâs Jaguar XE headlight replacement tutorial) that show how to safely remove and install these bulbs with clear instructions. - @Harry.B08.08.2025 16:15MemberIn summary:
Identify your Jaguar XE bulb types first (H7, D3S, H15, etc.), buy quality CAN bus-compatible LED replacements designed for those bulb types, and follow removal/installation steps carefully to avoid damage. Inspect online tutorials and ensure your replacements are suitable for Jaguar XE X760.
