The check engine light (service engine soon) comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle. Generally, the problem is in the emissions or something that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions, but other causes can trigger the light to come on, too. To determine the cause, the vehicle will need to be taken to a parts store or a shop that has an OBD2 scanner, or for 1995 and earlier models, an OBD1 scanner, While a scanner will not give you the magic answer, it will give you a code that narrows down the problem area.

Remove the bulb and simply pull the headlamp out, you need to give it a good yank or get a lever behing the lamp to pry it out, it is just held in by three round plastic gromits that pull free. I have just done this on my 1999 XJ8 so i assume it will be the same.
