Licence Plate Lamps
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Jaguar XKR, 2011 Jaguar XK, 2010 Jaguar XKR, and 2010 Jaguar XK. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Two licence plate lamps are located in the underside of the liftgate (hardtop) or luggage compartment lid (convertible) exterior trim finisher. Each lamp uses a W5W capless bulb which is located in a holder at the rear of the lamp.
The lamp can be removed from the finisher by using a wide flat blade screwdriver or similar tool, inserting it in the slot between the lamp lens and the finisher and gently levering the lamp from the surround. The bulb is pushed into a holder which in turn is a press fit in the lamp housing.
The licence plate lamps are illuminated at all times when the side lamps are active.
