Unfortunately my replacing of the leds failed in this time and most of the leds are now dead. Anyone know if the outer lights can be swapped with the facelift outer lights?

Success story of changing the leds, opted for high quality leds from Switch Electronics, that was two months ago, repaired and working and over the moon just shows they can be repaired, whatever you so buy quality components as most of the stuff on ebay is rubbish as you be soldering and desoldering and resoldering a lot of leds. Hope this helps a fellow D3 owner!
