Is it a strip of L.E.D's? If it is, perhaps they've all blown. Before you do anything more complicated, have you tried the unit direct from the battery, just to see that it works. Questioning

whats happened to the circuit board??
It should be possible to replace the leds and any drive transistors....and perhaps add a bit of protection for the leds in future

I replaced the one in the spoiler on my saloon, in Feb 05,that cost £66.80 from Vx.  I'd guess that you're looking at a similar price, unless someone else on here knows better. Cry

I'd be surprised if it's worth the bother of trying to repair it.
There must be someone on here who's breaking one?
Personally, I'd get a price from Vx, also a part number, and then decide if you can save enough to be worth the trouble. Wink
