V12V side 'parking' lights

[RichV12]

Outside front led has stopped working. Happened to anyone else? Manwell says LEDs should not need replacing as will last thousands of hours and should be maintained by an Aston Martin dealer. Warranty does one think? Thanks

Difference between what should happen and what does happen. This is a known issue, the circuit boards within the light unit break requiring replacement of the whole unit at a ridiculous amount of money. Hopefully you will have a warranty. Good luck!

Methinks (or hopes) Rich is talking about the indicator LED on the trailing edge of the front wing (fender to us Yanks), below the side strake. Not the ones in the headlamp housing (eyebrows). Should not be as expensive to replace if so. If not, then yes, pretty expensive.

Front of car. Side LEDs integrated with front indicators. Yes I have warranty but am I likely to need to prepare myself for an argument with dealer over whether it's a warranty issue? Thanks

just for clarity Rich - do you mean the little round light adjacent to the front wheel, or the string of LED lights within the headlight unit that come on with your sidelights and headlights

If the latter, then it is a warranty issue - I had no problem with the dealer, they just did it.

String of lights within the headlight. Thanks all. Appreciated
