enuff_zed,
Been away with work mate, apologies for the delay. Appreciate the feedback. Someone at work suggested that maybe there's a weird connection situation going on. So you said the front has two bulbs, right? And I've got aftermarket units with a single bulb in it. So he suggested maybe someone hid the additional connector away and did a botch job and it's now sorta having a moment?
Any thoughts on that theory.
As for the stalk theory, would they be difficult to find? Can't imagine they come up often on the forum tbh..

The replacement lights usually connect to the standard plug, not sure there would be a connector left over?Dr. Zed wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 1:36 am enuff_zed,

No idea. I couldn't find a spare one to be fair.
It's driving me insane.
I'll drop him a DM and see.
Thanks!

By coincidence, my Exige did this intermittently for a couple of days a few weeks ago, but it seems to have healed itself for now...
We had extremely heavy rain for several days and I suspect it was instrumental.

Every once in a while this happens on my 05 2.5i. It also mysteriously goes away when I later restart the car. You might try disconnecting the battery for about 30 minutes, then reconnect it. That seems to do some resetting including your driving style settings.

So mine is having the same issue, and the only fault I can find with my code scanner relates to the windscreen sensor. The sensor itself appears to be losing contact with the screen, and it's causing my auto wipers not to work. I reverted the wipers back to normal/intermittent, and the lights are all working, but the bulb sign isn't going away. Very annoying.

If all your bulbs are working you can code out the bulb failure warning light.
