i think the part is about $300 and labour depends on each dealer,usually about 4-5 hours. you used to have to replace the rear screen but now a new kit is available which means just the light needs renewing.

Am thinking..... anyone have their hands on a 'defective' LED panel? Has anyone ever tried 'hacking' into it to make the LEDs 'dance and sequence'? Just a frivolous idea really, but something the blingers might enjoy.

Just had my LED replaced I'm 05 CGT.
La Salle warranty doesn't cover.
Tried replacing LED only.
Cracked rear screen.
Oops.
New screen.


No profit on that job for the garage.
