High level LED brake lights

At our van's last MOT the local garage noted that a couple of the LEDs were dud in the strip brake light at the top of the back panel. Not a legal problem re the MOT but not something I wanted to ignore. On closer scrutiny I could not find screws or a way to access the bulbs so asked Willersey. As I feared it's a case of gouging out the strip and resealing. Before I set about this and hit nasties has anyone else removed the strip to do a similar job? G

I have not had that particular light off, but our awning light is simply stuck on in a similar manner, and I have had that off to convert it to LED, without any problems.

Apologies for the delay Murph but I watched the thread for a couple of days and after that relied on e-mail notification which I must have missed. Thanks for the comfort. Incidentally I was at Willersey at the end of last month for habitation and the fitter there suggested the degree of difficulty in removal often depended on which operator fitted the original. So it looks as though you suck it and see. Looking at some of the sealing elsewhere I suspect mine, like yours, will come out reasonably easily. G

That's the problem I've been having; it seems you can't rely on the "view posts since last visit" facility after all. I've just responded to another thread (driving to Switzerland) where today's post has been flagged by the above, but an earlier post (29th June) wasn't flagged. If it had been I'd have seen it since that's always the way I keep up to date with threads that interest me.

Tony,

I thought I had a similar problem after being away for a time; but I think I actually missed the "Page 1 - 2 - 3" etc at the bottom of the page and only read down to the bottom of Page 1!!

Also, I have found that if I hit a link that takes me to another site and then return to this Forum then my return is classed as a new "visit" and the "posts since last visit" have been cleared.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Ian
