DB9 Volante brake light bulb replacement.

[bertie]

Talking to a friend who was telling me how much he loved his DB9 Volante.
The brake light bulb had gone a few days after getting it and being so new he phoned the dealer who said it's a workshop job as they have to have it on the ramp and remove some panels from underneath to access the bulb so they'd collect it on a transporter!!

Is this true?

Surely changing a brake light bulb can't be that difficult??

I have a DB9 Volante and as with all DB9 and V8 Vantages, the brake lights are LEDs. LEDs are a "solid state" component which means they dont just "expire" like a conventional bulb(if they work first time, they will always work). Story sounds a little strange to me, perhaps some wiring had gone wrong.

As I suspected, I thought it sounded a bit like cobblers myself.

BTW, LEDs have a very definite life, but I know what you mean!
