The problem of burnt out LEDs on the Audi A3 headlight

Model: Audi A3 8V, MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Headlight

How to solve the problem of the LED strip that changes color over time on the Audi A3? As the YouTuber explains, the problem is not easy to solve because the original Audi part costs 150 euros, and changing the entire headlight costs around 400 euros. The solution could be to check the control unit that manages the lights, which may have a software error, but if the problem is limited to a few defective LEDs, we could try to replace them individually. This solution is certainly economical, but it requires some manual skills and technical knowledge, as it is necessary to disassemble the LED package, identify the defective LEDs, and replace them with compatible ones; if we do not feel confident, we can rely on a specialized Audi electrician; in this case, the costs could be similar to those of the dealership, but we would be sure of the result.
