Osram night breaker and other similar bulbs are a direct replacement fit. They will give an improvement but not a lot. Only a full HID conversion will give a significant improvement. Having said that I would not recommend an HID conversion for main beam as they need to warm up to give the best light and I found that you often need main beam on those dark country roads, where you need to see where your going right away and not after a delay.

Thanks Rob - I do a quite a bit of rural driving so that's very helpful.

Hi, I am a relative newbie to the forum having acquired my 08 reg 2.2D Sovereign about six weeks ago.  I know from the forum that the poor illumination from the headlights is not a new problem and I have read the applicable posts.  I am. however, confused with regards the replacements available. I know I must have H1 448 fitting but if I wish to fit Oram Nightbreaker Plus or unlimited are they a straight plug in or do they require additional wiring/electronics/starters?   Thanks Terry

HI all,

Next week I will have my first ever Jaguar.   A lovely 2008 (08) X-type 2.2d Sovereign that's already had a clutch DMF replacement.  Always bought sensible/practical cars all my life and now I'm older, retired and nostalgic I think I'm entitled to buy a car with my heart rather than my head LOL!   Really looking forward to it and although I know all is not always plain sailing with these cars I'll know I have the support of the experience in the forum members so thank you all in advance.

Terry
