In the first instance I would recommend a bulb change. Redpants and Aston1936 do youtube how to videos you can watch to help you. I just have done mine but it was to go from standard orange bulbs to chrome covered bulbs that flash orange, to get rid of the orange hue when you look at the head lights.
Wheel off, Wheel arch liner out, air box out and then you can reach up in to change the bulb.
If you are doing it I would recommend changing the front side light and the side indicator bulbs (and lens if yours has yellowed) as once the liner is out the rest is easy to access and the parts cost pennies.

I am wondering whether you might be referring to the DB9?
The Vantage has a combined strip of LEDs, for both front indicator and side light.
From past posts it is a new headlight job, but there has been mention of a UK firm who can do a repair.

You are correct - my mistake, :doh: Theres a link in the sticky for the LED repair firm.
One of my db9 rear lights stopped working recently. AM suggested a new light unit was needed. I noticed some condensation inside.
I followed the google instructions on how to open a light unit by heating it up to soften the glue. Then dried out the light fully in the oven and resealed the light.
It was easy, and enjoyable to save £500. If you have any condensation inside he light then try this first.
