I've just spent about an hour changing the offside stop bulb on my 1996 discovery! I tried to do the job last night in the dark, but gave up 'cause I couldn't see what I was doing. Tried again earlier this evening and this time removed the rear seat first - is there a way of refitting this that does not involve jamming your fingers between sharp bits of metal? What a job - managed to identify and remove stop bulb holder - could not manage to refit it due to the rubber gasket getting in the way and the inability of my hand to work inside the cramped and awkward space. To make things easier - !!! - I decided to remove the whole lamp unit by unscrewing the plastic wing nuts. What a bugger - very difficult to reach and punishing treatment of my knuckles to try and unscrew in the confined space. Worst to come - after successfully replacing the bulb holder I tried to refit the lamp unit. Could I get the plastic wing nuts to fit back onto the thread - could I f**k. Dropped the bugger which of course, fell under the foam and tried to escape into the depths where I couldn't reach. I just managed to retrieve it and after about another 12 attempts managed to get the thing back on the thread. Have I missed some trick or is it always this awkward.
