The LH tail light LED unit failed recently. I eventually traced the fault down to a broken wire under the boot lid hinge cover. When I was moving the wires to find the fault the RH light went from side light to brake light brightness and finally blew the 5 amp fuse. On stripping the cable sleeve back the problem with the wires became apparent with both LED light unit wires having split insulation and shorting out with each other. My car was made in 2013 and gets a reasonable amount of use with 30,000 miles on it. Not sure just how many times the boot lid has been opened and closed but it's a lot. If you get similar problems with the tail lights, check the wires under the hinge cover, I doubt my car will be the only one to have fatigued wires.
