Hi guys,
Driving ymcar yesterday and front passenger indicator stopped working. Warning light cam on dash telling me so. Indicators flash faster like the bul is out when i signal left.
I thought it would be a 50p bulb but car has the led headlights. So bulb cant be replaced.
However when i look at indicator it does work but its very very dim.
Any ideas?
Seat want 80quid just to diagnose.

These headlights are a self contained unit, so I don't think you can replace the LED bulb individually without breaking the seal and voiding the waranty. You should be able to see what the issue is using carista or OBD11.

If the bulb is still lit, it could be a connection issue rather than the bulb itself.

I know there's a recall out for mk3 leon indicators not working or something but not sure if it's facelifts only

I would disconnect the headlight and get some connector protector (dielectric grease) and smother the plug in it, could be dampness / water in the electrical connection to the headlight. Especially with the weather thats been about recently
