I have not. I have mine set to act as your right rear one does, but it is the same on both sides.

Hm. Something must be defective in the other light, so it can't do the "light show" and just shuts off as they cease to have power... that or some weird glitch that can probably be remedied by a software update or control module replacement.

Turns out dealership had never come across this issue before either and software updates didn’t resolve it. New light unit was ordered, shipped from Germany - is now fitted and seems to all be working fine
