So you thought DB9/Vantage/Rapide lights were bad...

Look at the inside of a Vanquish 2 rear light!

yeah, that is getting very silly now.
Sure it looks stunning from the outside, but surely its a huge step backwards in terms of being Green over a far less complex design.
Why cant we have removable LED bulbs with the chips on board the same as we have in house lights, and much more conventional designs. Im sure they could be made small enough so they could still have a beautiful housing to make the design attractive, whilst still being serviceable and thus reducing waste.

It's actually slightly putting me off getting a Vanquish, because I've had lots of problems with one of the rear lights on my DB9 and to contemplate the same fiasco with something costing £3,500 isn't appealing.And it's not 'green' because each of those light units has about half of China's annual output of rare earth minerals inside it!
That’s my light. Couldn’t be fixed even after a couple different attempts by competent techs. Finally gave up and bought a new one…$8000 with duties. Imagine getting tapped in the rear end and having to replace the bumper cover and both rear lights. Your insurance company won’t believe it and pretty soon will price Vanq collision premiums to match.
