I always carry spare brake light bulbs in the ash tray...(Be Prepared!!)... Maybe Shrinky didn't want to risk breaking a fingernail!! As you slide down the banister of life
may no splinters point your way
Disco XXV
RRS2 Autobiography Dynamic MY16
Discovery Sport HSE Lux MY17
Evoque HSE Dynamic MY16 (Gone)
RRS2 Autobiography Dynamic MY14 (Lovely car but preferred the Disco!)
Disco 3 Tdv6 HSE MY05 (owned for 11 years and now gone)
Range Rover Sport HSE MY11 (Gone)
Freelander2 SE (Gone but the most reliable car we've ever owned)

I've carried out the twin bulb mod on mine, so I have four stop lights plus the high level.
I don't know how legal it is, but it sure lights the drivers faces up behind

It's a pain, as the torx heads on my rear lamp guards are pretty shot and are a $od to get off.
On mine, there are two phillips-head screws in the tailgate aperture. I undo those and remove the guards & lens as a unit. No need to touch the torx screws.The Bearded Dragon

Will have another look at the w/e, but the last couple of times I have had to do it, the guards have had to come off separately to the light casing.No longer a D3 owner but still subscribed to multiple threads!
