    Hi

    I drive an 08 Toyota Avensis and my car recently failed the NCT (what a surprise!), anyway the most expensive item was the drivers side wing mirror LEDs.

    They are only intermittently working, sometimes all LEDs flash other times about 3 of the LEDS.

    Garage is quoting around €120 to replace & fit which seems steep. I've since being quoted €51.31 for just the LED assembly. Can anyone advise me on how to fit this. I'll take a look this evening to see if there's a lose cable but am a little worried to start pulling off plastics etc. with no manual to guide me.

    Thanks for your time

    I'm guessing you walloped the wing mirror and the seal on the unit broke, letting in water.

    There's a nice hole in mine. I took the water out and covered it with see through plastic. I haven't had it changed yet and asked here and got nothing helpful. Went to the Toyota owners club and there was a lad who had the same issue. He told me that you can get the lens (assuming that's your only issue) direct from Mr T and its easily replaced. Let me know how you get on though.

    It sounds like its the board.


    I'd so be swapping the one off the other side for the retest if I thought they'd only check that side...
