Early models had an issue with one, two or three led strips turing off, being dimmer than the rest, and/or flickering.
Problem is the soldering connection of the led.
When these led's fail, they do not trigger a code.
Led circuit board is enclosed inside the tail light and is not a servicable item.
Guys on the forum here have cut open the tail light housing to access the led circuit board and re-solder the connection points and some have replaced the led bulbs.

Hi. I read all that stuff about cutting open the lights, resoldering LEDs etc. I tried it on the outer lamp cluster and failed miserably! This was an MOT failure and at the time - about a year ago - the only unit I could get was from BMW. About £200 yikes. So I bit the bullet and replaced it. Then after reassembly the boot mounted light cluster LEDs failed as well. Another £150 from BMW! still they should now last forever... Cheers
