I have a 2010 J10 1.5 diesel model. My brake light went out and when i went to replace the bulb i found out it was an led panel. Does anyone know of where to buy this panel as i don't fancy shelling out £70-80 for a full light

Unfortunately the post facelift J10 tail lamps and brake is LED. They do not sell the individual part and it is the whole unit. I believe some people on the forum have bought the LED/SMD and soldered it in where it has gone bad. If you are handy with a soldering iron, this may be an option or to check if the circuit board has damaged dry joints on some of the solders.

First of all check all the connectors you can find - it may be as simple as a loose or corroded connector rather than a new light.

Thanks for the help guys. I did find a replacement part but its from AliExpress 🤣 (not happening) I just thought someone might know if there was an aftermarket alternative. I'm no good with a soldering iron but my Brother-in-law is (he build planes for a living) so he's going to look at it. The bottom row of led's are burnt out due to a leaky case. Thanks again

Ah! Burnt out! That explains why it's not working then!
