2019 Jaguar F-TYPELights

LHS Headlight, DRL is getting dim due to a defective part inside the headlight housing, this also affects the brightness of the turn signal, which constitutes a safety issue when turning. The car as such is quite low, so proper illumination to be visible is very important.

2018 Jaguar F-TYPELights

I was almost hit by a car in parking lot and other driver stated that I didn't have my directional on. This has happened on the highway stop lights which accounts for people honking at me when crossing roadway during a turn onto another road. I checked and found the light wasn't working for turn signal. I then contacted dealer to replace what I'm told is the entire headlight unit. Apprently they indicated an issue over the years with known DRL blowing out and the turning signal on headlight doesn't work . I researched and found this was an issue with people over the 2017-2019 years. To make it worse its a 5k repair job so no wonder a recall was never done by JLR motors.

2020 Jaguar F-TYPELights

The drivers side headlight directional is slowly failing due to the design of it from the factory and it will soon be nonfunctional. 2020 Jaguar F-Type daytime running light (DRL) or driving light failure is usually caused by an internal design flaw where heat from the LED system melts the plastic light-guide rod. Because the DRL also serves as the amber turn signal, the melting can also cause the indicator strip to flash dimly or fail altogether and have no turn signal. This is a very well known problem on these vehicles and it is cleaarly a safety issue that should be a recall with Jaguar

Symptoms of failure was present prior to complete failure. At highway speed, vehicle sometimes resisted steering input. At 20-30mph, steering wanders side to side and fights my steering inputs. When complete failure occurred, steering became difficult at low speed, parking situations. No warning or error message on dash. Vehicle was towed to dealer where they determined the electric motor on the steering rack suffered an internal failure. When disconnected from power, the steering rack was smooth, albeit...

unassisted. When connected to power, the steering rack was stiff and difficult to turn. It was determined that the electric motor resisted steering input rather than assist. Steering racks used by a range of Jaguar Land Rover products in this period also suffered similar internal failures.

2019 Jaguar F-TYPELights

There is a known issue with a piece inside of the drivers side headlight assembly causing the DRL and blinker to be very dim to where it is difficult to see in the daylight. The known failure is a piece inside called the Oculator. It apparently burns and melts causing the led light to fail to travel down the plastic strip effectively causing the blinker to be too dim. Jaguar knows about the issue and has manufactured a new headlight assembly with a corrected version of this oculator piece. They refuse to...

correct the issue under warranty however. My question is this...is this blinker too dim now to pass the federal standard listed for brightness of these turn signals? My car, or practically any other F-type that is 2019 or above, and has 30,000 miles or more on the odometer should be able to be used for verification.
