MOUNTED STOP LIGHT WITH PARTS

INFORMATION
Federal regulations require 1986 model year vehicles manufactured after September 1, 1985, to be fitted with a High Mounted Stop Light. Some 1986 vehicles manufactured before this date have had the stop lights fitted, and dealers may have already received these vehicles.

There are four bulbs fitted in the lights. They are accessible by pushing up two plastic spring tags at each end of the underside of the lamp cover and withdrawing the cover.

It is not possible to retrofit the stop light as there are differences in the rear window and rear harness in XJ6, VDP, and XJ-S models. The following part numbers are applicable:

XJ6 & VDP

Stop Light - DAC 3994

Rear Window - BBC 6621

Rear Harness - DAC 3960

Link Lead - DAC 3959


XJ-S

Stop Light - DAC 3966

Rear Window - BBC 6619

Rear Harness - DAC 3961

Link Lead - DAC 3962


Bulb, JLM 9600, is used in both applications.
