Default jaguar XF Headlights for 00-05 Monte

have u guyz ever looked at the 09-2010 jaguar XF headlights? they kinda look like the lights on the 2000-05 Monte i was wondering if i could take an old monte headlight and try 2 put a projecter in the inside to give the monte's headlight a more luxurious look like the jaguar XF i might get a light off an old car with projector lights and try it

Definitely do-able, and it has been done before. There are tons of projectors available on ebay.

It looks like if you used the left jaguar light on the right side and vice versa, just turn them upside down you could probably retrofit it somehow.

its just a guess, but i would assue that the 09-10 jaguar heads cost at least a grand. just a guess though.

i heard its very hard to bake and crack the 6th gen headlights casue the way they were put together.

There are none availiable for the 00-05 MC's.
I am currently working on a retrofit myself. Once the project is finished I will tell more. You do have to work around the headlights as well because they aren't "glued" like other headlights...they were welded to complete the seal.
