    Somebody pointed out to me that my right rear tail light was flickering so it was out for a look and sure enough the little blighter was giving the odd flicker from the bottom right quarter and on another occasion the bottom right quarter was off completely but now it's back to the odd flicker.

    Is it a case of dampness in the unit causing the problem or can the tail light section only be replaced or is it replace the whole unit.

    You can't replace sections in the tail lights, you have to replace the whole unit. Where i live (Sweden) you have to have 50% or more for it to pass the MOT. I have 75% working on both my outer tail light sections.

    No as I still have 75% of my LED's functioning. But they are around £100 a peice if you need to replace them (in Sweden that is).
