How to replace a lightbulb on a Land Rover Discovery Sport

We see why it may be best left to the professionals this time

Car Ownership

Off-road luxury

The Land Rover Discovery Sport may not be as popular as it's big brother Discovery but still boasts impressive off-road credentials. With technology progressing forward at an ever-increasing pace and the systems in these vehicles becoming increasingly electronically controlled, there are some things which are best left to the agents to service.

In the case of the headlight system, it is not the replacement bulb that is the issue but the means of exchanging it.

 

Difficult access

In order to access the headlight clusters to replace a burnt out Xenon bulb in the older models, it requires removal of a great portion of the front clip.

You will need specialty tools to remove the front grille and a few dexterous moves to get the headlight clusters out to access the panels at the rear.

Another point to consider is that some of these vehicles had optional LED lighting that cannot be user serviced.

In rare cases such as these, it is often times best left to the trained professionals to do this task as they will have the tools and training for carrying out the exchange.

 

If you still wish to take on the task, there are high level instructions in the owners manual
