The head lights on the car point down to the ground. At night with my head lights on they shine on about 7 feet in front of the car.

As seen at the following web site, http://www.Jaguarforums.Com/forum/s-type-15/how-headlight-repair-stype-faq-10745/, headlight leveling mechanisms on jaguar vehicles fail at a high rate causing the lights to only the ground approximately 20 feet around the vehicle. At over $1100 each, most owners opt to live with the unsafe condition rather than spend the money. The site shown above provides a home remedy, which may not be the safest recommendation.

I have an issue with the 'road leveling headlamps.' They motor down to such a position that I can no longer drive this vehicle safely after dark. The head lamps only project a few feet in front of the vehicle making it very dangerous to drive. I took this into the dealership, wilde jaguar of sarasota, who informed me that the cost to make this repair would be in excess of $3,000.00. I was also told that this was a common problem with this car. At a very minimum auto manufacturers should be required to ensure that the most basic of safety standards such as head lamps don't commonly fail. *Tr

Both low beam headlights self-leveling mechanisms have failed. According to authorized jaguar service department, the only solution is to replace the entire headlight system at a estimated cost of $2,000. Low beams are now aimed only 10-15 ft in front of the car. *Tr

Both headlights after leveling pointed only 10 or 15 feet down the road. Was told by the dealership that both headlight assemblies needed to be replaced at a cost of $2,400. The car has never been involved in any kind of accident. *Tr

Headlights point to low to the ground after leveling. *Tr
