I was born and lived about 5 miles from Halewood and nearly went there for a Job just after it was built. When Ford took over Jaguar it had also taken over Saab and Volvo, and had also built factories in other EU countries, and built several Ford Models in countries such as Belgium. The x type fitted into Halewood quite easily and in a way, saved the plant from oblivion. Peter.

Hi, I retro-fitted a pair of LED lamps from Ebay circa £29/pair to replace the standard fogs. These were Plug & Play - i.e. fixings and connector. However I had to reverse the DC feed polarity. Images below for further info. I haven't as yet applied any electrical mods so that they operate correctly as DRL/Fogs. I just switch them on as fogs when I need them. Access to the lamps is as Joe says via the radiator splash panel, which when removing for the first time can be challenging. Jaguar factory fit plated carbon steel M6 screws (usually Torx) and lug nuts to this access panel (also on all other under body panels) and of course rust - making them difficult to remove. Patience and Plus Gas can help. Avoid of course "the old blow lamp removal technique" as plastic panels turn to liquid. A method I have used to remove the little buxxers is with a Dremel fitted with a small diamond cutting disc. However be careful as this can also cause a build up of heat in the screws. Just keep a water spray to hand for cooling the cutting area. When I replaced my lamps I fitted new lug nuts (available on Ebay) which were supplied with M6 Stainless Steel Button Head Socket screws and nylon washers. I applied copper grease to the fixings to ensure I will always be able to remove easily.
