On my Discovery I had to remove the rear seats to change the brake light
bulbs.

However, changing them for LED bulbs means they'll never fail again.

You're not *kidding*.

And even worse, I can't get a bleeding replacement.

My old Jeep Cherokee I had to remove the bull-bars, bumper, grill, and
headlight assembly to change a front headlight bulb.

In winter, in the dark, in the snow!

Oh yes. Try replacing the headlight washer stop valve inside the front
valence!!

Front wheels off, inner wings off, front bumper off..except you can't
on a 2.4JTD due to impossible access to one bolt on LHS. The second
time it happened, I just disconnected the headlamp washer system!

In 12 years of 156 ownership (crap grammar, but it's early in the day) I
have never heard anybody claim that they could change the front indicator
bulb on a 156. I still reckon it's impossible.
