Yeah this is a great help. I got pulled over at 6:30am on my way to work and I was late. I got 30 days to replace the light have the police check it before mailing in the citation.
Hey Hilton, back at cha. Finally got mine in, but I haven't replaced them yet. I can't wait. I look forward to seeing the brighter look. Thanks again for all your great tips and information.
Deborah Saddler Any time. You will enjoy the brighter look at night when you back up as the camera is able to see better 😉😁
Hilton I know , I've seen it in your video. Looks great. Thanks again.
Nice tip! I never thought about changing the license plates lights.
76ers you will love them and they are waterproof too, so pretty robust. Thanks for watching ;-)
Thank you for the video. Got it saved for future purposes.
Nice tip Hilton, got mine and fitted them easily- no problem.
Nigel Low Hey, well done Nigel. They're really bright aren't they.
Hi excellent video order led lights, thx makes my 2009 xf rear look gr8!
Thanks for showing these, I like the look of them. I'm off to order some. :)
DrMorb1us you are going to love them.
Very useful video. Great improvement to my XF.
Hey Debbs, wish I could help, but without seeing the lights you got, I can't comment. If the connection is different, you got the wrong the lights. But it's as simple as connecting the LED connector to the bulb connector, stuffing the wires back in there and clipping the light in. Perhaps you tried to clip it in wrong way around?
Thanks, Hilton. This was really helpful although somehow I managed to get the clip on one of the removable bub housing bent up inside the fascia trim it fits into so now the housing will neither come out fully nor fit back properly in! Doh!
Thanks for the great video Hilton , I have been waiting for this one :) , my car is back from its service and m.o.t from the dealer tomorrow so as soon as my wallet recovers I will be ordering a set of those for mine. From what you have shown it looks like a really simple job. Cheers !
Richie5903 thanks for watching. Glad this could some fellow XF owners.
Hilton hey i suggest you to get this amazing led light bulbs JDM ASTAR Extremely Bright PX Chips 168 175 194 2825 W5W T10 LED Bulbs,Xenon White
Is it possible just to remove and change out the bulbs or do i need to buy the whole light itself like you did? Thanks in advance.
Absolutely, you can change the T10 bulbs out for LED T10 bulbs. They don't even have to be canbus bulbs.
Hey Hilton, finally tried to put mine in, and it didn't fit. Somehow it looks like the connection are different. I've tried and tried. Any ideas?
Did you come right with your license plate lights Deborah? If not, send me a mail via my website www.hiltoncamons.com and I'll contact you back - then you can send me pics of the lights you bought - I can advise you better once I've seen what you got ;-)
Hilton What do you mean did I come right? I tried putting it in, didn't seem like it matched at all. Contacted tha Aliexpress seller and he said it is the correct item for my 2010 Jaguar XF. I will try again. If it doesn't work, then I will send you pics of everything. Thanks Hilton.
Hi Hilton..thanks for the great videos...I have changed my Jag's number plate bulbs today with LED ..is it safe as the original light or will it allow water to enter in there while raining and washing with power wash?
Thanks
You can rest assured no water will get in there. To tell you the truth, I fitted mine a few years before selling my old XF on and forgot they were even there. I washed my XF once a week and used my lights three times a week at night and they worked without trouble. 😉
Thank you so much Hilton
Hi
Thanks for the xf vids. I have a 2013 xf 3 litre petrol supercharged very fast.
I have a creak on the steering when it goes up and down in comfort mode have you come across this I cant find any info on it

Great video, thank you for keep uploading videos about jaguar xf but I have question for you
Did you change the interior light of your car from fluorescent to led?
and if so do you have some recommendations regarding the brand and amount of lumens should be?
Hey thanks for watching. To be honest, I haven't changed the interior bulbs because I prefer the yellow light inside. It's softer. If you want to switch all your interior bulbs to led you can try this link:

Stupid question but how do the bulbs come out? Just pull or twist?
They are T10 wedge so just pull them out.
Hi Hilton.Will this fit a X260 Jag? 2016?
Thanks
I'm afraid not my friend.
@@carfanfan any ideea what kind of led lamps should i use?
I just bought a xf,x260 and im not happy with the stock licence lamps and i would like to replace them with some brighter ones
Just did mine but the plastic clips broke while pushing in 😭
Thanks very much
Where do I order them from and do they come in different colors?
tJames Thonpson Hey there. Unfortunately they don't come in other colors. Check out the link in the description which will take you to AliExpress ;-)
Hi jaguar 2010 adaptive cruse control work
Will these fit on my Jaguar XF 2012?
They sure will ☺️
I've just wasted 3:55 mins of my most valuable time grrr. Demonstrating car lights in the DAYTIME...a world's first. Brill mate.
Lighten up Francis....
where did your spoiler go?
This was filmed prior to me fitting the spoiler 😉
Will this fit 2013 xf?
Jonathan quintana It should fit the facelift models too. You could do a quick check by opening the cover of the light to check if it has a wedge fitting. These are usually called T10 or W5W fittings. If it does then these will fit ;-)
Tried these on my 2009 XF 3.0 D V6 and the LED bayoney fitting was too thick to fit in the existing bayonet bulb socket
Hey Paul. You just need to force them in. They are a bit thicker but they will fit with a bit of force 😉
@@carfanfan Thanks mate, took a deep breath, a glass of whiskey and pushed, worked perfectly. Thanks very much for your trouble, they look great, well pleased.
@@paulraper1 🤣😂🤣 well done mate 😉
@@carfanfan My third Jag, S type and X type, but got to admit im totally in love with my XF, iv'e had it for 3 weeks now and i can't resist even sitting in it at night bathing in the lovely blue interior lighting. At 71yrs old i never thought a car could perk me up like this one has.
@@paulraper1 I totally get that. I sometimes just pop into the garage to marvel at my XFR. It just has presence even standing in the garage. 😉
I changed mine yesterday, but have an issue, the part that goes in first with the two tabs keeps sliding out.
Has anyone else had this issue? if so any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks
hey Phillip, are you sure you got them in 100%. Those two tabs must go in pretty deep before you clip the right hand side of the light in.
@@carfanfan yeah i put one side in and they went in perfect no issues. But when i went and tried the other side it just keeps sliding out.
It is like the cable/connector behind the bulb is pushing it out all the time...
@@YellowLobster you might need to push the cable back as you fit the light back in 😉
Danke!
Originally fitted : BOTH My LED lights failed after 2 years when I believed I would never need to replace again and replacements cost £11.99 about $15 each - so waste of time
Thanks for the feedback Grahame. Sorry to hear that. Mine are still working fine, so I guess they're due for failure any day now. But I'll buy another set - those phillips bulbs get way too hot for my liking.
All the other LED lights other than the number plate lights are fine, and I must admit well impressed with pure white light. I believe the headlights have a heat sink as they do get HOT. Hope yours last for ever, I'm perhaps unlucky as out of warranty as I don't use main dealer for services.
