Noticed our front running lights weren't working yesterday.... and that it looked pretty involved to get to them... These are the ones "in" the headlight that are facing forward right below (or is it above, I can't remember) the forward-facing indicators....

It looked like I had to rip out the battery on the passenger side and the air box on the drivers side.... is it really that difficult?

2004 Disco 2.

Thanks

If I remember right, the directions are in your owners manual.

 

Ok, this is pretty simple actually (for a Rover that is). Pop the hood. Look on the top of each headlight pod and you will see a black plastic plate. In this black plastic plate are two silver 12 point bolts that the British seem to love so much, these are at the back of the plate, don't mess with these. At the front, recessed just a little bit, there are two black phillips head screws. Remove both of these. Now, look in the gap between the headlight and the grill fascia. You should see a large black phillips head screw, one for each headlight pod. Remove this, and the entire pod slides right out. Reinstallation is the reverse of the above, just make sure you line up the two black tabs on top of the headlight pod with the slots in the aforementioned black plastic plate. This plate is what controls the proper alignment of your headlight pods, that's why I said don't remove the two silver bolts, they are the adjusting bolts.

 

Cool. thanks guys.
