I had this problem and it takes ten seconds to fix! There is a sensor that clips in above the brake fixture that got knocked loose by a larger foot. It just snaps back into place. Get a flashlight, lean in under the dash and you will see it hanging
my jaguar xtype is beeping, and now my brake lights don't work when my headlights are on. Do I need to replace a fuse or reset the rear sensor? Thanks Jasmin-
To replace the brake light switch on a Jaguar X-Type, first, disconnect the vehicle's battery to ensure safety. Locate the brake light switch, which is typically found near the top of the brake pedal assembly. Remove the electrical connector and the switch by unscrewing or unclipping it, then install the new switch in reverse order. Finally, reconnect the battery and test the brake lights to ensure they function properly.

The brake light in a 2001 V8 Jaguar S-Type may stay on due to a faulty brake light switch, which is typically located near the brake pedal. If the switch is stuck or malfunctioning, it can prevent the brake lights from turning off. Additionally, a blown fuse, a wiring issue, or problems with the vehicle's electronic systems could also cause the brake light to remain illuminated. It's advisable to check these components to diagnose and resolve the issue.

In most vehicles flickering lights is a sign of a failing alternator.
The brake light bulb on a Jaguar X-Type is replaced by opening the trunk and unscrewing the rear cover. The wiring harness can then be disconnected, the bulb removed, and a new bulb put in its place.
Just remove the old brake pads and insert the new ones.
Often this type of behavior is caused by a bad ground for the lighting circuit. Check the ground circuit for the brake lights.
HID lights are the outter main lights. From the dealership they're $350.00 but I called around and got them from Monument Auto parts for $ 70.00. H1 are the dim inner lights that are used as your high beams. Those are Halogen lights and not that expensive. If you have problems, search for how to change jaguar headlights or something like that.
