content: When my dash lamps started to fail I visited my local independent auto factors (Halfords are useless) and the chap had a neat compartmented box that had all manner of lamp just like yours. You just chose the one with the correct mount and wattage. The coloured plastic covers are transferred to the new lamp (bulbs go in the ground)The alternative is the dealership for your car...... dash lamps are not as expensive as you might thinkMy Audi 80 dash lamps were 1.60 each.Another alternative is to buy new Lilliput lamps and solder them into the old lamp plastic holder or even fit high brightness LEDs with a dropping resistor in series.Hope this helps a little. My recommendation is Dealer 1st, if too expensive, ring around the independent auto factors in your area and see if they hold dash lamp kits.Aurora

content: A good motor factors may be able to match some of those in clear, but I'd very much doubt they'd have any coloured versions. Top three look like relatively standard mounts, but the other two I can't think of seeing anything similar before.Best option will be asking some of the Jaguar owner clubs, or just going to a dealer.

content: Is it me or has the reference to Jaguar just appeared from thin air? I can't see any reference to it from the OP. You may find the coloured tops are removable, I know they were on my Rover.Come to think of it I think the lamps pulled out of the holders and had little wire tails on.

The flexicable cracks due to vibration and is a pig to repair.I repaired mine by re-enforcing the back with ducktape and repainting the damaged track with a couple of coats of silver conductive paint. Worked but not a permanent fix.
