    I took the bike for an MOT today and the guy pointed out that I had 3 LED lights out in my tail light. Are these LEDs replaceable?

    You could replace them if you're handy with a soldering iron and can open the lense without cracking it! Tbh probably easier to get a second hand one off eBay

    Make sure if buying the Moto dynamics one it's the later version where you can turn off the blinking stop light and indicators for the mot

    Looks like my LEDs have failed due to water ingress. I don't ride in the rain nor do I use a pressure washer.
