in my xf my indicators died which i thinkk was due to the flasher,which costs like 28$ so i havent replaced it yet,but since then i now have no interior lights and the fuse seems fine.and the lights headlights,when you turn them ion only the parkers come on and after a little bit the driving lights come on ,or if you tap the relay near the battery the driving lights come on only after tapping the relay,should i only have to replace the relay.at this time i dont think that i ave any more probs with me car but when i do ill be back.

thanks for any helpat all

Have you installed a cd player? when i installed my cd player something was going wrong with the earth and it caused all the lights to stop working.. eg: parkers, headlights, dashlights, basically everything

yep i do have which a cd player which i had installed myself ,but used the old cassete players wire to the fuse under the dash,so i could easyly have it in the key,with out having to do anyrewiring at all.now,yes my cd player does seem to be giving a little problem,if you turn the cd player on and the lights on one of them wont come on at all ,or the cd player will blink ,i have disconnected the cd player and every thing seems to be fine again with the head lights ,now i have to sort out the indicators,.thanks for ya help.

the earth wire behind the cd player is crapy i reckon.. and because of this you have blown a fuse. in my case the fuse didn't look blown but was so replace the fuses!
