I would just take it back mate. Even if there is an easy way to fix it, if you fiddle with something and it makes it worse your guarantee might not be valid :)

glad its sorted! i was going to suggest checking to see if the bulbs have been changed.

i got some LED stop and tail bulbs for my 06 Sport and if i was driving when i turned the sidelights on it cut all power - quite frightening at 60mph when u stop in the road whilst accellerating.

couldn't be pestered looking for a resister or whatever it is u need so swapped em back.
