    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.

    Lots of models may have similar difficulties, but it shouldn't be so.

    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.

    This one may even be easier than your Sigma :-)

    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.

    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.

    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.
