Have you opened it up and had a look for anything obvious?

not yet, someone on here sent me an exploded diagram but it didnt show a bulb. some internet searching seemed to hint at a light strip like a fluorescent strip. It also looked like a slightly different model and an absolute ball ache to access.

ok, so i popped in to tonbridge porsche today. £486 for a replacement unit, and i dont think thats fitted. the tech guy i spoke to suggested just changing them for stainless door sills, i know its going to start bugging me.
