Take back to the dealers, it’s under warranty, hardly worth getting you’re hand dirty for.

Look on YouTube.

It's a 10min job. There are a number of clips holding the grille on between the headlights (6 maybe that are push fits), then a number of clips holding the individual headlight (3 or 4), and a cable connection. Couple of waterproof covers and internal locking clips and you can change the bulb yourself.

Not had to do it myself, but did look it up in case.

Why would it be covered under the warranty? Surely the bulbs are consumables and wouldn't be covered.

I’ve had bulbs changed under the Manufacturers warranty before (upto 3 years old).

I am about to change my headlight bulbs for brighter ones on my SDV6 Disco 4. What the easiest way to get them out and back?

Read the manual.... It's dead easy to unclip and remove the front grille. The headlight can then be released by pushing up 2 locking clips. As stated above it should take you less than 10 minutes.

I plan to change the standard 55w bulbs for new 100w versions Anyone got an idea of where to buy them or what type as I have seen claims of 130% or 150% ore light from some of them.
The main beam I think are H7 and I have a pair of them new but what do you buy and what type are the dipped beam ones plus can you change the sidelight bulbs for brighter ones?
I have seen a YouTube video on how to get the head light unit and grill off to do it but want to get the bulbs first obviously.
cheers, Den ( SDV6 2012 HSE)
