With M. Stojanovic's source for a brick store vendor I would go with that
https://store.alternatorparts.com/in...regulator.aspx
Notice the part # IN9218
on swapping out mine I found the screw fused to the brush assembly found on their website so ordered one for installation and a replacement screw from the hardware store

I think of it as insurance to protect the other expensive stuff in my car's electrical system, as well as insuring my safely getting home at night.

If the headlight bulbs blew so quickly, you had a serious over-voltage coming from the alternator. This can only be due to a bad voltage regulator not controlling the voltage, i.e. having a short inside it sending full current to the alternator's exciter coil. In this case, the alternator voltage can go up to as high as 20-30 Volts. Do not go for the cheapest Ebay (fake?) regulators but get one from a reputable supplier. I get Denso alternator parts here: https://store.alternatorparts.com/in...regulator.aspx
As for the engine ECU and other modules, hopefully they are not damaged as they usually have in-built over-voltage protection.

If you could still start the engine after the bulbs burnouts, at least the engine ECU is fine. Don't try to start the engine again with the faulty alternator still in. You can test everything with all wires disconnected from the alternator, i.e. run on the battery for a while (after you have charged it, if not full).

They also have IN9218HD (heavy Duty) but they don't state what the difference is.

There is a difference in how fast the regulator responds like with heavy beats from your stereo system and not necessarily with change in RPM
In the X300 case a IN221 is the stranded response and the IN435 is the fast response equipped on the car from factory
The HD may be a 120 amp vs. a 90 amp
120 is required on the X300 , I believe it is required on the X308

Update:
I took the alternator out of the vehicle and brought it to the rebuilders. They bench tested it, at idle speed they were getting 17 volts when they cranked up the rpm's they were spiking at 29 volts, so it does appear that I found the issue, I hope it didnt blow anything besides my headlamps

Also, here is another "brick & mortar" parts source for your car:
https://www.partsgeek.com/models/van...as/jaguar.html
They are in New Jersey and have a toll-free number.

Of course it looks like you're going to have to keep your eye on things that might want to fail prematurely from the over-voltage, starting with your car's battery.
Meantime, the fact that you said your dash lights went black sounds like your car has an over-voltage protector, also known as a high power protection module, that that protects your more delicate and expensive/critical lower-voltage items.
You might check and see.

There is a fuse that powers the OBD 2 port
Once someone found the pins in the port bent

I guess that is a possibility, I was thinking maybe with the high voltage that the voltage protection was affecting the operation if the electronics and shutting them down or whatever and that was causing the no communication problem. I was hoping anyways. I was planning on checking it after i get the alternator back in there and if it doesnt read again to take it to the auto zone down the road and see if they can get their code reader to communicate. Mostly I am hoping it works once the voltage is correct again.
