Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented tail light is dedicated to the Jaguar X-Type X400 saloon model and is mounted on the rear right side of the vehicle. It is responsible for correct light signaling – position light, brake light, and turn signal – which is crucial for safety and compliance with traffic regulations. Thanks to its factory design, the component works with the vehicle's original wiring harness, and the plug and socket used allow for a secure, stable connection without the need for installation modifications.

Construction and mounting fit

The light has been designed specifically for the rear right part of the Jaguar X-Type body, which guarantees:

• proper fit to the shape of the fender and trunk lid,
• correct arrangement of light chambers,
• proper cooperation with factory brackets and mounting screws. The presence of a dedicated socket and plug allows for installation in a plug-and-play mode, without the need for soldering wires or using adapters. This solution reduces the risk of installation errors and facilitates service.

Benefits of using an original Jaguar tail light

Using an original, used tail light in a Jaguar X-Type X400 brings a number of practical advantages:

• Factory fitment – maintaining the body lines and aesthetics characteristic of the Jaguar brand.
• Proper optical characteristics – appropriate light intensity and distribution, consistent with the manufacturer's design.
• Electrical compatibility – matching the original lighting control system and vehicle installation.
• Economical repair – the ability to restore full lighting functionality without the need to purchase a new light. For users who value stylistic and technical consistency with the rest of the vehicle, using an original tail light is a more predictable solution than installing replacements with uncertain parameters.

Condition and service application

The component comes from dismantling and is offered as a used tail light, which allows for cost-effective restoration of the lighting system's efficiency after a collision, mechanical damage, or electrical failure. It works well both in post-accident repairs and when replacing worn or leaky lights that may cause lens fogging or installation errors. Thanks to the preservation of the original design and connectors, the light is particularly useful in workshops specializing in the Jaguar brand and for users servicing their cars themselves who expect predictable installation and compliance with factory service documentation.
