Hi Mick T

 

eBay have some kits available for your car.

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=hid+lighting+kit&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.Xjaguar+hid+lighting+kit&_nkw=jaguar+%23hid+lighting+kit&_sacat=0

 

However, a couple of things to be aware of...unless they are compatible with the Canbus electronic system of your vehicle then this can result in errors being generated in the system.

Also, the HID kit isn't really road legal as it cannot dip automatically when going over bumps/inclines and also if the weight distribution changes within the car and can lead to dazzling the oncoming traffic. Therefore, they shouldn't really go through the MOT test.

They do however, produce a lot better light and illuminate far better than halogen.
