E46 Rear Light cluster LED repair?

[jumpingjackdan]

Hi,

I have noticed 4 of my LED lights have stopped working on one of my rear clusters. I understand these are sealed units but looking around the internet there are suggestions that it may be possible to take them apart and just solder in replacement LEDs.

Has anyone managed to do this or am I stuck with buying one from Ebay for silly money that may do the same thing?

Bump.

Any joy on this? Theres a few elements out on mrs hairys '04 330ci, no-one out there repairing these?

Googling around it seems a bit of a minefield with quality & compatibility issues, overpriced unwarranted parts etc.
