I have a Abbey Aventura 315. The high brake light cluster has one led light not working. Is there a way to repair this please or would it need a whole new cluster. Also i have tried to remove this light without success. I felt if i forced it i was going to break it. Any advise please would be appreciated. Thanks

    How many are in the cluster? Our MH  one has 28 and I wouldn’t be bothered about a few missing and would wait until more failed. Water got into ours and only 15 were working, as it’s a MH a bit close to the MOT limit of 50%, so had to replace the unit, it was the same with the one on our Yaris, you couldn’t fix individual elements. Moving to LED’s was a bit of a retrograde step, as where as it would have been £1 or so to replace now it’s £60 or more.☹️

    We have a yaris with one of the 6 high level brake LEDs not working and looking on ebay they are asking £80 to £90 just for the light

    Ours was around £100 fitted by the garage. I mentioned £60 or more as that’s what the MH one cost and I fitted that. It looked as though it cost about £10 or less to make.

    Thankyou for your replies. I aren't sure how many are in the cluster as i aren't near the caravan at the moment. But i take it from your replies it probably isn't worth worrying about just one missing. I wasn't sure if this sort of light could be repaired or not. 

    Thanks anyway.
