Hi everyone

See the rear LED lights will they ever need replacing? And if so would be a bulb replacement or something else?

Thanks

Personally I bought used ones off ebay and keep them in my spare parts bin should this ever happen.

If you are not in a rush just keep an eye on prices I cant recall how much I paid but it was not a lot of money.

That's a good call, may pick some LED units up over the next few weeks/months and do a retrofit at some point. But wanting facelift type, and don't know if that's a more difficult retrofit than the earlier ones

Not so much the LEDs themselves failing, they have a greater chance of needing replacement due to the seal failing and water getting into them - especially the early ones. I replaced both outer ones on my old 64 plate SE Tech, bought them new from Euro Car Parts - back then they were over £100 a piece
