It was no trouble at all, plus they were the easiest bulb ever to change, they simply pop in and out

Nope, i agree. They're LED's on the R so perhaps it's one of the things they've changed to differenciate the two?

Yeah, possibly.

Might pull the bulb out and see if I can get an LED replacement one so at least it will turn on/off as sharply as others...
