Headlight Jaguar XJ full LED MX73-13W030-ED left complete
The MX73-13W030-ED part number identifies a Left-Hand (Driver Side) full LED headlight assembly for the Jaguar XJ (X351) facelift models, typically produced between 2016 and 2019.
This specific unit is the “High” or “Matrix” spec, often referred to as the Double J-Blade design due to its distinctive dual-line LED daytime running lights.
1. Key Specifications & Identification
-
Part Number Series: MX73-13W030-ED (The “MX73” prefix often indicates a newer or region-specific revision, superseding the older “FW93” series).
-
Technology: Full LED Matrix/Adaptive. Unlike the base Xenon units, these contain no bulbs to change; the entire light source is integrated.
-
“Complete” Status: A truly complete assembly must include the LED Power Module (Ballast) and the AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) control unit, which are bolted to the underside and rear of the housing.
-
Design: Features the “Adaptive” signature, meaning the beam physically moves with the steering wheel and automatically dips for oncoming traffic.
2. Market Availability & Pricing (2026)
Because these are high-tech components, they are expensive. New units from Jaguar dealers often exceed $3,500, leading most owners to the secondary market.
| Condition | Estimated Price (USD) | Notes |
| Used (Bare) | $1,100 – $1,400 | Housing and lenses only; you must swap your old modules over. |
| Used (Complete) | $1,700 – $2,200 | Plug-and-play; includes all modules and intact mounting tabs. |
| Refurbished/Mint | $2,500 – $2,800 | Lens polished to new condition; guaranteed AFS functionality. |
3. Critical Compatibility Check
-
Facelift Only: This headlight will not physically fit the 2010–2015 pre-facelift XJ without a full front-end conversion (bumper, grille, and wiring harness).
-
LHD vs. RHD: Ensure the suffix “ED” matches your region. Jaguar headlights are coded for the side of the road you drive on. Installing a UK-spec (RHD) light on a US-spec (LHD) car will blind oncoming traffic and fail inspection due to the beam “kick-up” direction.
-
Pin Count: Most full LED units use a 16-pin connector. Verify your vehicle’s harness matches before purchasing, as non-adaptive cars may have different pinouts.
4. Buying Tip: The “Tabs”
The most common issue with used Jaguar headlights is broken mounting tabs. While “tab repair kits” (plastic brackets that screw into the housing) are available from Jaguar, a unit with its original factory tabs intact commands a 20–30% premium because it ensures perfect alignment with the hood and fender lines.
