    Was driving this morning and the left side bulb went thought it would be a simple fix only to find this.
    And yes it is more or less melted/ burnt out.
    Anyone got any experience with this fault or know of any solutions that don’t involve replacing the unit?

    Thanks guys.

    Was that the original bulbs from the factory? I take it you don't have any warranty on the car?

    I’m fairly certain they were factory (only had the car since October but certainly couldn’t see anything special about them) car is out of warranty.
