Dear all,
I have a 2012 Qashqai+2. Brake lights have stopped working while indicator lights continue to work. I understand that they are led lights (they got a lot of water inside them). I dried them and put them back on but they just dont work.
Do you know if I can find just the LED lights (tail light or stop light as they are called) or do i need to buy the entire rear light set ?
many thanks
Panky
Brake light not working-can they be replaced?

"I don't know" is my immediate answer. Have you seen if you can actually get the light unit apart?
Also have you actually checked the brake lights are receiving a voltage - might be a fractured wire? Is the high level light working? If not might be a faulty switch?

Doesn't look promising

High lights are working. When I took the unit showing the indicator bulb out, I do see the led circuit hidden behind a plastic casing which is held by a star screw. I didn't have the courage to take it out lest I screw things further!
Instead I tried searching online for a replacement led circuit based on the part number, but I couldn't find them anywhere on the popular UK car parts sites (eurocarparts, Autocar parts). I found that one the Nissan car parts website in Netherlands advertise that part but they are out of stock.
Are there other reliable websites for parts, or any websites for older parts, or any other suggestions.. Highly welcome.
Don't want to spend 150£ for replacing the entire unit!

Just to close on this post, I could not find the LEDs by themselves so I had to buy the the entire unit for tail and stop light for both the right and the left sides. I got them for 120 pounds and have fixed it. I hope they last!
