Good thing the XF has H7, they are the same except for being 180 out of round! Look closely enough and you'll also see the tabs of each (that lock into the base) are slightly different but they have enough 'wiggle' to them to slip em in.

H7 bulbs dont look anything like these bulbs, But these are used in the foglights. The h7 has two pins which the connector slides on.
