Rear LED's blown?
Hey guys. I noted last night a row of 4 LEDS from the boot lid brake light have blown. I dont want to wait until service in 7000km's - is this an easy fix?

tnx in advance for any help.

E55 then E63, now back to an E55
In the past, my third brake light had a few lights missing, so I bought an entire new assembly and popped it in myself.....
