Looking at your signature, all your front ones are fine

I've never seen 1 fail that way! Something to watch out for as all my lights except main and dipped beam are L..E.D.
Gaz glad your all sorted mate. Did you replace them with more L.E.Ds?

Surprised me as well! No indication on the dash, spotted it arriving at my garage one evening, only one side light. I assume it was due to the internal resistor fooling the warning system.

Having had several led bulbs fail (usually flickering) and tripping the canbus, I bought CREE ones and have had no problems with any of them in over 3 years. Mabey give them a try Ste. Standard side light bulbs are just not anywhere near as bright and look poor in comparison I think. Lee.
