Hi all,

Vehicle details before I get started are 2013 J10b 1.5dci with halogen lights.

So I cracked the osf (driver front) light cluster, it was just the lens that was damaged. I tried to look for replacement lenses with no joy so bought a cluster (non oem) from ebay. Took the old one off and installed the new one without too much swearing. Small problem, none of the lights in that cluster worked! So I checked the cables, nothing...next I put a meter on the cables and there was power. So I put a meter across the cables inside the unit and nothing. Another thing that happened was that I was getting a 'tone' from inside the engine bay, a low volume constant beep. With it being dark and late I gave up for the day. I came back to it this morning and it has somehow fixed itself overnight! I'm not going to complain about the magic elves helping me out but wondered if anyone could shed some light on this? The tone has gone and all lights are working perfectly, I just don't want to be driving in the dark at a later date and it fails again. Any ideas?!

Thanks
