Default Audi A5 daylight LED burnt out, how to fix

Hey,

I've got an 08 A5, has one of the LED-s burnt out in the daylight running lights, can anyone help me how to chnage the LED? Can't find any information anywhere.

Thanks,
J

I think you have to replace the light. That's what the dealer did when an LED burnt out on mine. Hope you are still in warranty!

Thanks JSC,

That's what I've heard too, unforunately I have no warranty left on it, and the headlight costs more than $700. Though there is some other solution.

Search around on the net for a used one from a wrecker. It might be hard to find, most likely down in the US simply because there would be more cars down there. It should be about half the price of new. Went this route when BMW wanted $1400 for a seat base. ($1400 in Canada, $700 in the US, $350 used in the US?)

Hope this helps,
Bill
