Repairing/replacing side repeater LEDs (DBS, Virage, etc)?

[AWV12]

Half of the LEDs (3 out of 6?) of the side repeater of my DBS are failing. So it still works (and will pass MOT/APK/TÜV/etc), but of course this has to be fixed.

Question: can the (individual?) LEDs be replaced or is a total new side repeater unit the only option? A complete new one (see https://www.scuderiacarparts.com/part/436636/aston... ) will cost a lot I think?

Is the same item for DBS, Virage, Rapide, One-77 and V12 Zagato)

Any thoughts? Thanks!

They can be repaired, there are threads here and on 6 Speed Online detailing the procedure.Normally, it's just replacing failed condensators (due to moisture) on the PCB. The hardest part is opening the light, you need to unglue the lens then seal it up again.

I have actually a couple of lights from my Vantage for sale: one is untouched, the other underwent the above reparation here in Italy from a specialised PCB tech, let me know if you are interested. They are both like new, no broken plastic supports, clear lenses and such.

Thanks, did find several threads about the Vantage LED (that is part of the larger Xenon module),, but did not find threads here or on 6Speed about this small LED strip on the side of the car, but will look again.

Maybe the same applies to the seperate, small DBS/Virage/Rapide side LED strip?
