2011 LCI rear led lights not working

[wad187]

Hi,

1 of the strips of led light in the rear tail gait has stopped working they should be 2 but only 1 is on.

Can i fix this or is a new light until required.

Cheers

Had the same thing happen on my 1 series 135i and had to have a new unit fitted.....search eBay....BM wanted around £800, picked a new one up for £195....

Hello,

Almost certainly water has got past the seal, which is prone to breaking down on older cars. Only cure is to fit a new unit - the individual LED cannot be repaired - which will come with a much improved and effective seal. The local BMW body shop charged me £200 three or so years ago when the unit failed on my 2007 E70.

Hope can get it much cheaper than £800!!!!
