Welcome to the forum imajag61,
I've moved your question from General Tech Help section to X350 section. Members with the same model will be able to help with the lighting issue.
When you get a minute, please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST section and post some info about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see. In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice about posting to the forum.

The main beam lamp unit and the front parking (side) lamp are in the inner unit and the dipped beam and the turn signal lamp unit are in the outer. Dipped are fused separately but both main beams are on the same fuse:

Standard Halogen (H7) bulb headlamps simply have a bulb holder:

The HID headlamps consist of a headlamp bulb and a combined ballast and headlamp leveling module fitted to the headlamp. Burner wear for HID lamps is so low that the burner lasts the lifetime of the vehicle under normal use. Headlamp automatic leveling is controlled by the air suspension module receiving information from the controlled area network (CAN) data.
The HID setup has a lot more to go wrong!

Your terminology sounds like you are in North America. Dipped=low beam (outer lights); Main=high beams (inner lights). The lights vary a bit by geography or options, especially the dipped/low beam, which is why you are getting questions as to the type of bulbs you have. However, I should think the main/high beam bulbs are halogen bulbs in all markets.
