How do you replace the blinker light bulb on the left front bumper of a jaguar xj8 around the year 2002?

If you have the vehicle care booklet that comes with the car it explains the procedure. In short, you push in on the inboard end of the lens, in your case the right side. It will raise the left side enough to carefully slide a screwdriver in to compress the spring catch. The unit can be removed to replace the bulb.

Hope this helps.

Why does the restricted performance light come on in your XJ8?

It can be that the brake sensor is sticky/faulty and it is conflicting with the cruise control. (CC says go, brake says no). When these conditions occur, the car goes into safe mode and disables the cc.

How do you program jaguar s type keyless?

I know this works for the X type but you might as well try it and see if it works for you! Here are the instructions: Hold headlight flasher back. Turn ignition key to position 1. Flash headlights 4 times. Alarm will enter programming mode. This will be confirmed by "beeps" from the alarm and flashing led on gearshift. Program each transmitter (up to 5) by pressing the lock or unlock button on each transmitter once. The alarm will "honk" when you press the transmitter button. The alarm must honk 5 times to complete the programming. Therefore, if you are only programming one transmitter you should operate the transmitter 5 times. If you are programming two transmitters you will operate one transmitter twice, and three times on the other.

How do you change jaguar xj8 headlight bulb?

You may have trouble if you have larger than average hands, but here goes:
1 - Remove the plastic cover that hides the grille/radiator and headlights area
2 - Starting on either headlight, locate the metal retaining bar that holds the back cover in place. A good tug towards the front of the car will do the trick, but if the lights havent been changed in a while the bar may need a real strong pull.
3 - Open up the back cover and pry it all the way out. Doing this instead of just sliding it to the side will free up a few more inches of hand room.
4 - Now you'll have access to the bulbs and wires in the housing. The top bulb will be the signal repeater, the bottom will be the main headlamp. There will be a thin metal clip holding the bulb in place which releases from beneath the bulb. If you push the bottom of this clip to the side and up, it will come free but be careful not to let it drop out completely. You should be able to gently lift it up and have it stay in its place.
5 - Another way of releasing the bulb would be to pull the wire socket off the bulb before releasing the clip. Just be careful not to pull too hard on the wires.
6 - Now just simply pull out the bulb.
7 - To put in a new bulb I find its easier to plug it into the wire socket first and then put it into its housing, followed by securing the metal clip. Replace the back cover by inserting the bottom part into its mate (youll be able to see where to put it with a flashlight). Make sure its secure, then push the metal bar back until it pops (or clicks, whatever).
