Ask Torque to fix it? did you get a warranty? worth a shot! They are normally quite helpful.

I might do Ian but TBH I don't think something like a lamp will be covered under warranty.

I did mine myself- its easy to change- little fiddley but grand. Its a tiny bulb, I ordered mine off Honda- 2 weeks later it went again. New one in and then it went again- I couldnt be arsed changing it again so its staying as is!!

Dont know if this is the correct way to do it but it worked and left no marks..... I was so careful......There are small clips on the sides of the unit. I used a butter knife to push the clips open (any flat object will do- u only need it to loosen the sides- butter knife worked well with the blunt sides), the whole unit will come out- unclip the wires and take the whole unit out. Once its out there are a few screw on the back that need to be removed....after this you will see the bulbs- a flat head screw driver will get them out- old bulb out new in. Put it all back together.

Dont laugh at the butter knife....it works!!
