Well I wouldn't say they aren't immortal since some died throughout the story, I think the best way to say is that they just don't age. They're like vampires they don't age but still don't die no matter what unless with specific attacks. If they were truly immortal they would never die no matter what whichhh seems to be whem the light is taken from their ghost (in the early missions on the moon) or in regular ways? Like the Rise of Iron squad.

Immortal does not equal invincible. They are immortal by the fact they live unlimited lives so long as certain conditions aren't met to kill them.
-
Their ghost dies, THEY die too. Unless a guardians ghost dies and the guardian doesnt. In that case, would they still be ageless?
-
No. If your Ghost dies, you're on your last life unless you're a Sunsinger.
-
They can die without their Ghost dying. Jaren Ward being one example.

I'm pretty sure once their ghost dies/loses their light the Guardian does as well like Kabr who used his ghosts light for the shield and what not and ended up dying

See Eris Morn. Lost both her ghost and light, she lives. During the SIVA Dormant memories, the Iron Lords watched their ghost be devoured and were personally still alive until SIVA ate them too.

Guardians are immortal, not invincible.
