Indicator LED/Bulb on wingmirror no longer working

jones

Folks,

I've a 09 Golf and just realised the indicator on my driver side wingmirror has stopped working infact when i check it some of the bulbs are glowing very faintly. I assume it is a LED light but i'm not sure. I dont think its been hit or any damage so could it be a bad bulb? (can that even happen with an LED?)

I found the part online think its OEM 5K0-949-102 but just wondering has anyone had any similar instances and how much was it to fix?

Cheers

Jones

On an Octavia you need to replace the whole unit - think it's about €45 from memory. I think they use a different shape mirror though to the Golf. You probably could replace the LED if you really wanted to I suppose.

I'm not even sure if it is LED's along the wingmirror of the Golfs. I originally thought none of the lights were working but some of them do glow very very faintly when i turn the indicator on.

VW dealers promise to replace fee of charge any bulbs bought from them, could be worth a try.

2. We’ll fit bulbs and wipers free.
We promise to fit wiper blades and exterior bulbs bought from us free-of-charge. We’ll replace all exterior bulbs, including sidelights, headlights, brakelights, foglights and reverse and indicator bulbs.

Think they are all LED.

Pop off the mirror cover (look on youtube how to as it's easy to break a clip) and there should be a couple of screws holding it in with a connector on the end. eBay is your friend if you want a cheap one.

Yeah i watched the youtube clip of your man taking off the mirror. I might give it a bash see whats up

Cheers for the feedback folks
