Hi Richymann

It was just the bulb for me so, wanting to get it sorted, I popped and got a Halfords D3S.

Don't just use their bulb finder else you'll end up with the wrong one by the way!

Only changed one side and you can't tell the difference between them.

Sounds more like a ballast / resistor module in your case maybe - all I can suggest is swapping the bulbs side to side to check if it's bulb or car.

I kept my duff bulb to put back in when it goes for an MOT soon - was surprised to see bulbs covered under the Jag MOT warranty so looking forward to that conversation after they replace it :D

Also surprised that the bulb type is not mentioned in the owners handbook, simply refer to your dealer to replace.

Sure you need an M10 socket to move a box out of the way but the change is a simple spring clip lever, so a 5 minute job tops.

EDIT:
Just noticed you mention DS1 - did they change on later models or could that be your problem?
