Hi all, I have a question and this seemed like the place to come for the answer..
How do i change the brake light bulb on a Disco3 it is a TDV6 HSE if that makes any difference.
Many thanks.
Nathan.

You need to remove the entire light cluster I think off the top of my head its a posi drive screw driver thats needed.  "The fate of the wounded lies in the hands of the one who applys the first dressing"

Welcome Nathan
Screws need to be undone (see yellow circles )
Then prise out from the bottom ..some use a kitchen spatular so as not to damage the paint work
see he for some other pics of the light removed

Hey again, i took the cluster out and swapped the bulb with the one below as i was told to do by someone, Before i done this the only thing that didnt work is the drivers side brake light didnt work, now it does since ive swapped bulbs but now the lower bulb stays Very bright (as in when you have your foot on the brake) however both the top ones now light up when you press the brake and the lower one stays bright all the time. Any ideas?

ken's spot on. The bulbs have offset pins on the side, one pin higher than the other. Remove the bulbs on the side you've just changed, turn then through 180deg and put them back in. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

 Sorry Ken. Seen that reply so often on other forums where the OP has thought it was some kind of wind-up so added the detail about the retaining pins.
Did you decide which Browning ?  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
