F750 - front LEDs

[Dippy]

I have bought an F750 + rear camera and have been 'bench testing' it prior to fitting. Good job that I did because I found out that one of the 9 LEDs on the front doesn't work. I can RMA it, but am wondering whether or not to bother, because I am inclined not to use the LEDs at all. Part of me thinks it would be great as a deterrent in parking mode, but then the other, cynical part of me thinks it could do the opposite: Some scumbag sees my car and is attracted to the lights so decides to cause damage to it for fun. Although I have never had the experience I am thinking that getting the UK police to find people who do criminal damage to cars is going to have the same response as asking them to find house burglars.

Any opinions? How many people have the LEDs working?

I use a small blu-tack to cover the rear blue LED but I like the front to be as visible during driving and parking.

Not me!
I realized only after the first night out that the lights were "on" by default. Came out to the parking lot and saw pulsating blue light and thought I was getting a ticket. "Off" it went! Will never understand the fixation on blue for these things, and why LE no longer seems to get cranky about it.

OTOH, if they had a tiny pinpoint of light that flickered for a millisecond once every 5 or 10 seconds, it might be tolerable and serve a purpose.
