Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
I suppose you can now say the car has a V12 in it. I'm always suspicious of quality of electrical installation when I see aftermarket audio installs. At least it's Alpine in there being decent aftermarket audio brand. Nowadays it'd likely be some cheap arse generic Chinese brand from Amazon that li...

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
Super duper(!) premium sound. 20240418_173258.jpg It works, and powers the speakers (that don't sound stock) in the doors. 4x50W so not too shabby for the era. There's wiring for a second amp and a sub. Fair do. I guess that'll be on the wishlist. Probably just stick a 12" on a 400-500W class D...

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
Ime on those bulbs, once one blows others are due to blow soon after. The shock of removing the cluster can kill the other marginal bulbs. Plus old bulbs are dimmer and it's obvious especially with backlight bulbs when only some have changed. Yup. The knocks and bumps finished off the last two bulb...

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
Just ordered a pack of the little "grain of wheat" style bulbs that go in the switches, climate panel and gear shifter.

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
The 'track' and position numbers should be green, I think it only comes on with the lights. i only noticed as the S for sport looked illuminated but I couldn't see the button next to that for the cruise (if yours has it). Ah, okay. No the track doesn't light up green. The cruise button is also burn...

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
Well, that was easy.
Dash out, bulbs out. All four will be changed, one only left working, the third the filament broke as I pulled it.
I'll get some more bulbs

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
Eww that does look shyte doesn't it? Gear selector lights out too? or just too bight to see them? those & the switches behind the gearstick are surface mount LEDs I think, so no issue to a man of your skills. Ignition was off. On, it lights the position up red. Should it have more than that?

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
Ahh, I can't recall the make of the premium sound system but pretty sure it's not Alpine. I think Hardon Karmon & Bose depending on the age. If it's the original headunit then there's a switch on it somewhere to swap between the two types, I think it changes if the internal amp is used or not. ...
