New rear lights

[vxrob8]

Having new lights fitted under warrenty on my R8 cause they are really condensated, £982.00 each is what told have told me, is this a common problem?

My car is about 9 months old, which I pretty well use every day, has the same problem, although not quite so bad at the moment as it has been tucked up in the garage for the last couple of weeks. I posted the same question a while back and I think the common view is that Vauxhall will pick up under wtee.

Yeh they will, there also going to put a new uprated clutch in it as well cause it judders when you pull away!

The £982 is a commen problem, one of mine flashes too fast as well..

I was told that problem is a small ecu in a loom on the rear lights!

Thats right, had mine done last year....................(cold weather)
when they are turned into HSV'S the led lights need these units cause the loom is not suitable..

Someone went into the back of me a while back, the little fog lamp at the back of the RO it seems costs £300.

I go away for six months and leave the car in storage, and look what happen!! Lights flas faster, gauges go funny, another trip to the motor dealer again.
