Check you have 12 volting into the light. Failing that, the cheapest option is to replace the light. Repairing is uneconomical. You would need a good electronic engineer to diagnose the fault and some expensive test equipment. A new lamp is only about £15. Probably not much more than two new tubes.

Ill agree, its probably the PCB, which incoperates a starter, which TBH isnt worth repairing unless you a dab hand with a soldering iron and multimeter!!
