    I apologize in advance if this has been covered already. I searched but couldn't find anything. My passenger side tail light (the upper part above the reverse lights) don't light up when you press on the break. Or rather, they light up, but just not as bright as the driver side. I took the car to the dealership and they told me they'd need to replace the entire tail light and I just wanted to see if that was indeed the case. Please advise.

    Thanks,

    That is indeed the case. The LEDs can not be replaced like ur typical incandescent bulb.

    Try searching eBay for a used 1.....just be careful.....they may have the same problem.

    Ok, just wanted to confirm. I'll check eBay and apply all the standard "shopping on eBay rules". I appreciate the quick response.
