If it's just a bulb, you should be able to just swap out the old bulb for a new one. Do you know how to do this? I'm not sure the set-up of the headlamps of the Range Rover Sports but if it's like the older design Range Rovers or most cars on the roads, you should be able to stick you hand behind the lamp housing and unscrew the cover that's attached to the backside of the lamp housing. Once the cover is off, unplug the old bulb (usually twist or turn the bulb clockwise or counterclockwise and unplug the wire) and plug in and secure the new one inside the housing. The bulbs are plug and play. You could surely buy a set of bulbs for your model online somewhere. Your bulbs may be under warranty, though, since your truck is a 2006 or newer, I'm assuming and if that's the case, have the dealer take care of it. Do you live near an ocean? When I had my RR, I lived near the beach and almost every lamp on my truck prematurely crapped outdue to salt in the air corroding the bulbs. Many cars in my beach community had headlight and brake lights that burned out out from the salty air. Nothing you can do about that.
