Defender owner changes a Jeep stop light globe!

Despite only needing two screws to change a light globe, I agree that the Defender rear lighting is frankly shoddy. My little bro. who drives a Disco 2 (usually following me) reackons he often missed my indicators and stop lights if we are driving into the sun.

hehehe, great explanation of jeep steering... borrowing a mates 2H troopy while hte fender has a holiday in the shed. Steers just like your sons jeep!!!!

toyota build quality fit and finish eh, cant beat it.

You may laugh, but years ago when I bought my first and only 2 wheel drive, a 1980 Chrysler Sigma (yes new - my brother worked for the dealer) the globes on that were a snap to change all accessed from inside the boot or bonnet, no screws.

With CAD of cars these days it shouldn't take any more than a minute to change any globe. They just have to add that parameter to the profile.

Driven a current V8 troopy?...
They feel 30yrs old :o

the disco 1 front head lights and indicators are a good example of tool free acess. I am very surprised that the rears aren't as good

Maybe car globes should be like the globes on light houses - then one fails the spare one is rotated into the focus point. :)

If I ever have to change the rear bulbs in my disco, it is getting LEDs. Out last the car I reckon

I would like to think that LEDs were an option, however I find that many LED replacement globes are not approved under ADR. Also the LED in my interior dome lights last about as long as the incandescent ones did before all the LED fail. :mad::mad::mad:

Rear stop lights on a P38 - No screws.

The light housing module unclips from the back and the globes are easily replaced.

However, on the PAX side, you do have to unclip the CD changer housing to get to it.

Wow - never thought anything on the P38 would be simpler.
