I have a 19986 XJ6 and need to replace the dash lights for the odometer and clock. What and where can I get the lamps and how can I replace them?

Frank,

I have just replaced the light for the clock in my '94 XJ40. From the research I have done it appears that all of the XJ40s ('88-'94) and X300s ('95-'97) used the same bulbs to backlight the clock. See the link below for the actual Jag replacement bulb:

I thought that $10 per bulb (there are two used for the clock backlight) was a bit steep so I looked elsewhere. These little bulbs are known as "neo-wedge" (NW1 or NW2). I found http://superlumination.com/74.htm which had the correct bulbs for $1.50 (incandescent) or $2.50 (LED). I opted for the LED bulbs because they were available in white. I had already replaced the factory radio to get an in-dash CD player and did not need to match the light-color between the clock and the radio. The new bulbs work great.

The instrument panel lights use a bulb that can be replaced seperately from the base (see attached picture). I found these at http://www.jaggraveyard.com/product_info.php?products_id=764 I think you can also find the bulbs at http://superlumination.com/74.htm for less.

Hope this helps.
