XKR rear fog and reversing LED lights

Postby ParaHandy » Thu Feb 23, 2017 9:14 am

Hi

I have a MY2010 XKR and enough of the LEDs have failed to be at risk of failing its MOT. The Jag replacement cost is obscene but the LEDs themselves cost pennies. Has anyone replaced the LEDs?

If you think the Jag cost is obscene for the LED tail lights, pity anyone with LED headlamps. One LED out is an MoT failure on headlamps (rather than the 50% rule for side lamps) and the replacement costs for just about any manufacturers' LED headlamps seems to be eye watering. Mike.

Ps If you can work out a repair for your existing rear lamps, I suspect you will make lots of new friends!
