Default External Door Handle LEDs

Randomly looking at the car when on the phone to the tracker company.
I noticed that one of the door handle LEDs have stopped.

Is it a new handle job or can it be fixed?

Looking on ebay you can buy the light unit on its own.
I think its a handle out job and swap the light unit over some how.

I think it's a little more involved than this and involves major surgery taking the door card off and all the innards out. Perfectly do-able, but good luck putting it all together and not having some new annoying rattle!

It's definitely a skin-off job to do from the inside as otherwise, there's a bit of a security hole
