x type headlamp surgery
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Dear Fellow Xtypers;
After being told that my low beam headlamp socket was melted and could only be repaired by replacing the entire headlamp assembly, at a seattle cost of $660.00 plus labor, I got the idea of by-pass surgery from this forum. At a cost of $12.00, total, I got a H1 assembly from e-bay and then two .30 cent female connectors; an hour at most:
It worked beautifully.
Requires taking out the battery for easier access. THanks to the forum for saving my wallet over $1200.00![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Brutal, if you are going to throw any more of the headlight assemblies away, could I get a left and right headlight from you? I will pay for the shipping. I have an idea for a set of X-Type headlights and would like to get a pair to play with. I don't care if the adjusters are broken or not. I will fix that once I get them apart for the modification. let me know if this is possible.
Thanks.
Thanks.
