Fault on read LED indicator

Yes, very easy - took me a little time to find the bolts, but open up the boot and at 90 degrees to the wing light cluster you will see 2 round covers - remove these and with a deep socket you can take out the nuts carefully - I dropped one as there is a gap before the trim.

I have been looking for a replacement rear light but things have worsened leaving me to consider that it is not the light at fault.

The indicator now no longer works, and when on a journey yesterday I kept getting a warning saying that all the outer rear brake lights have stopped working - as it was a long journey I could not test, but as the issue has grown into multiplecloght clusters, I am thinking that z control box may be at fault.

Where is the light control box as I may have to look at whether our sponsors have one on the way back from holiday. I may have to try to test whether it fixes the issue while I am there if it is easy to get to.

Do you think that the control box is the most likely issue?

Thanks.

Did you guy's managed to find the fault? I've got the same problem with the rear drivers side indicator, warning comes up at random times. Doing the same for passenger side brakes, but I have an old unit that needed changing as it failed on mot a few years back. Might try that and see if warning comes up.
Bit reluctant to buy replacement for both sides if they're fixable

I had to replace the led units inside the lights. I found some cracked lights being sold and swapped the internals over.

Condensation and water ingress had killed the led circuit boards. I had 2 light units to fix. All good now.
