Hi all - I'm new so be gentle..

I have a 2000 XJ and I need to replace the driver's side headlight, but I can't see any good way to get to it.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Great forum!

The plastic bezel covering it snaps off, The part that encase the headlight and the turn light. It will snap off (Careful) and give access to the headlight.

On my 2000 there are 2 screws in the top of bezel holding it on.

Thanks for the input. I feel pretty stupid now after finding the screws... I need to get more light in the garage!

Seems that I have a bigger problem than what I thought. In addition to my driver's side headlight being out, my turn signal lamp was out and I found that the socket got fried. I have a bad ground somewhere thats the cause (and it's intermittantly dimming the driver's side park and side marker lights - could even be the problem with my headlight).

I think that the best thing to do is to replace the headlight wiring harness, but I haven't had any luck googling for a stock part number. Anybody got any ideas?

Go to the junk yard. The harness is not that hard to extract by removing the front panel. Take you about 20 minutes with a phillips screwdriver and some metric sockets. Whole lot cheaper too.
