Welcome to the Forum

I am not aware of one, not without actually opening the sealed unit and testing to see if it is a LED failure or something on the PCB

Have you talked to guys like Cartronics or ECU testing as there are so many cars now with LED lights someone must be repairing them surely ?

The alternative (did it with my E70) is a recycled one got mine from Quarry Motors not cheap but below 1/3rd of the price of new

Maybe there is a business opportunity? Is this a common fault? At less than 5 years old you'd expect the led's to last. Ali express has new ones at 57quid so may get one and see how easy the factory fitted comes apart.

Does anyone have any feedback on Ali express?

Never used Ali Express but from what I read (some time ago) most sellers are from China so what protection you have if a product is faulty I have no idea, same applies to quality. If things are really cheap there is normally a reason.

When I swapped mine I did cut open the unit (Dremel Job) and found the small PCB board to be water damaged and stained no idea or indication how water got in. As a precaution I put a smear of clear silicon sealer around both mine (replacement and existing) where the coloured plastic is bonded to the plastic housing then fitted new water seals when putting them back.

If you can find away to repair it could be an opportunity finding the PCB and the LED's will be the trick
