Front LED light strip out

[steveatesh]

Noticed this morning the front offside LED lights are out, no matter what position the light switch is. Car is 18 month old MY 2010 v8v.

Is there a fuse that I can check for this please?
If not, I seem to recall reading on here that LED lights are ot covered on the warranty -am I recollecting right or is old age catching me up!
If anybody else has had this problem can they be repaired because I gather they are not cheap!

Why wouldnt they be covered by the warrenty? I would be very surprised if they were not!

Me too only asking because the warranty excludes all light bulbs except the HID headlight according to the book. So wondering if an LED light is counted as a lightbulb!

I got mine replaced under warranty as they were clearly fading in comparison to the other set. And they aren't cheap either, because the whole lamp unit has to be replaced. So I'd get it done sooner than later.

Thanks put my mind at rest.

I noticed two of the LEDs in one strip weren't working - had the entire unit replaced under the extended warranty.

Excellent news Dav.

I can appreciate that these units are covered under the all-encompassing original warranty, but it's reassuring that they are covered also under the reduced extended warranty.

I know a rear pair of the clear lights come out at approx £1K + Vat - I had them done !!

I will be checking the full details next March when / if I go onto the extended warranty

The front LED strip was out on mine before I bought it. It was fixed by a firm in manchester before I collected it. It did have to be stripped down first and the PCB sent to them. The details are on this thread
