There is a known issue with a piece inside of the drivers side headlight assembly causing the DRL and blinker to be very dim to where it is difficult to see in the daylight. The known failure is a piece inside called the Oculator. It apparently burns and melts causing the led light to fail to travel down the plastic strip effectively causing the blinker to be too dim. Jaguar knows about the issue and has manufactured a new headlight assembly with a corrected version of this oculator piece. They refuse to correct the issue under warranty however. My question is this...is this blinker too dim now to pass the federal standard listed for brightness of these turn signals? My car, or practically any other F-type that is 2019 or above, and has 30,000 miles or more on the odometer should be able to be used for verification.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2019 Jaguar F-type verdict →
