Hi,

My front side marker (amber) light bulb went out on my 2013 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. This is the amber side marker on the driver (front) side. I called the dealership and they said they have to replace the entire housing since its LED. I have a hard time believing this. I would've guessed it would be just a light bulb. No? Do you know what light bulb part number this would be? Please help!

Although I'm thinking of getting these eventually, this is the location of the bulb.

Thank you for your help!

It's not LED. They must've misunderstood it to be the lights in the main pod. It is simply a matter of removing a few of the screws that hold the wheel well liners in place and replacing the bulb which you can find at any auto parts department. Good luck trying to get the clear lights from V Collection. They have had a problem finding a supplier so they never have any available for sale.

 

Thank you so much KarlFranz! I knew there was some sort of disconnect with the dealership and myself.

 

Hey Karlfranz, quick question. I'm trying to replace the bulb. I got as far as removing the wheel well liners and am currently at the bulb itself. I removed the back "connector" which has the wires (by pushing down the small lever) but the bulb is attached to a housing which I need to remove from the wheel wheel itself. I am trying to figure out how to remove it. I don't know whether I pull it out or twist. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

Twist and pull IIRC.

 

It worked! Many thanks!
