May help? 


They can be replaced. It'll be a matter of taking the headlamp unit off, heating it gently and prising it apart and replacing the part. I suspect it won't even be the LED itself, it'll be a solder joint which will have been heated and come apart either on the LED itself or a PCB it's fitted to.

Obviously a main dealer won't go anywhere this sort of thing and can only quote on a replacement unit. I'd be pushing for them to sort this out.

Ive had same problem ,but i took it apart and went over the pc board and found a dry joint near the 6 pin led conector , soldered it up and now the indicator works fine , so 2p of solder an some elbow grease saved me alot of money

Sounds the kind of job Jaime would be up for, and very capable of doing 
And pity the jag forumites if it works

Indeed, if drying it out doesn't work, I will be pulling it apart.

Due to the ball ache removing the headlight, if I could get one for £200-£300, I'd buy one and fit it, and repair the old one.

And my current thought is there might be a small driver inside low down, that has got wet.

Although there might not be a driver in the lamp, as the CJB defo has output drivers.

I knew you should have bought an E class

It appears I do, so not getting an E class yet.

Drove to work with the top down, Bob Seger on the stereo, and the wind on my *hair.

In which case I would probably keep the Boxter
