Easiest way I've found is to remove the two torx bolts holding the seat brackets at the top - the whole seat drops down then out of the way giving slightly better access to the rear of the cluster.
The cluster itself is held on with two wing nuts, one top and one bottom which clamps a bracket between the light and the body.
The jump between 2 or 4 rear lights is not an mot requirement - as long as you have a minimum of 2 lights.
I've always thought the two small lights in the bumper did not give a true impression of the size of the car in the dark, with the four lights you get a better idea! :wink:
Bush Tucker Man:
Chris, you bet me to the removal method, I think it's a TORX 30 (or 35)
I upgraded my Discovery to a 4-lamp set up within a couple of weeks of buying it.
As you imply it's far safer having the 4 tails, the flip side is that the indicator relay is expensive if you go for that set-up as well (AMR4873, at circa £27.00!)
Surely, it's got to be the most essential (safety) modification that anyone with a bumper only tail-light Discovery can make?
I've copied the set-up on my 110 as well.
However, I'm intending modifying it slightly by taking the (lower tail/fog) feeds from the opposite sides, so, if a fuse goes, I still have a tail-light on each side, instead of losing both
landroverkeith:
