The LED strip of the additional brake light went out. And the taillights are constantly sweating from the inside. The dealer refuses to repair it under warranty – says there are no spare parts. Is it possible to drive?

According to the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union “On the safety of wheeled vehicles”, an additional brake signal on cars equipped with it is mandatory by the manufacturer.
If it does not work, the use of the vehicle is prohibited under paragraph 3.3 of the relevant Malfunction List (appendix to the Basic Regulations for the admission of vehicles to traffic and the duty of the official to ensure road safety).
Fogging of the rear lights, if this does not affect their performance, does not prevent further use of the car.
