Has anyone come across dead LEDs on D4 rear lights before?
Hi all,
I took a punt on a pair of black facelift D4 rear lights today. I was buying some air suspension struts and the guy had these too, so I picked them up too.
I’ve had a little play with them and can’t get any life out of the 4 LEDs shown in the picture. From looking at wiring diagrams I think there’s just one live and one earth supplying all the LEDs, so thinking I’m going to need to open the unit up and see what’s what.
Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this really, or if anyone had knowledge of the inner workings before I start putting car parts in the oven.
Cheers,
Stu

Yes the LED's can fail if you have a percentage out it will be an MOT failure, are they genuine Valeo or aftermarket ones?Andrew

I’m pretty sure they are after market ones. Just seems odd that 4 in a line would go.
I didn’t pay much for them (£60 the pair) and the guy I bought them from was honest that they were playing up.

will need to follow forum rules and put on "for sale" first. Used to use photobucket but they want me to pay for uploading photos so trying to work out an alternative hosting site,
