Shiny Headlights
Yesterday I parked next to a light metallic blue XK8. When I came back out of the store I was admiring the two cars together and noticed that the interior of their headlights looked chrome, while mine looked black. The shiny chrome looked really nice. Was that just the way the headlights came on certain years, or did that owner do something to their headlights?

The chrome in the headlamps comes off very easy so be careful if you try to clean them, also the change over year was 2003, cars in that year that were fitted with Xenons (or HID if you like) had black lights, it was something to do with the chrome causing more glare, cars without Xenons retained the original chrome, however as stocks diminished all later cars were fitted with black head light units
Hope that clears it up a bit
Oh yeah, I really would not advise trying to get the glass off, it is a real PITA, much easier just to swap the front assembly, you can pick them up on Ebay quite reasonably I bought a pair for $150
