Tail light issues

Hi guys,
Surfed around the site, but not too sure about this answer.

So my right side tail light is partially out. It's almost like the LED's are flaking out. Some times more are out, then at other times. Does anyone have experience fixing this?

Would this be a warranty issue? I have 116k on my 2004,

I priced out a new led pack for about $115, but wonder if it's worth that if it's probably fixable.

Thoughts???

Just buy a used or new replacement through eBay they are probably cheap. Even though LED's have a much greater lifespan than a standard bulb, they still burn out. Your car is probably over ten years old so it's normal. Just replace the LED board and call it a day.
Oh and no, burned out bulbs are not covered under warranty, atleast on a 2004 lol.

It's not going to be covered under warranty.

What you need is the LED board. You "might" be able to find a used one here on the black market section for cheaper than $110.

PITA to fix compared to just "replacing a bulb", but it's what you gotta do.
Id PM Acktl05 and get one from him...
Good luck
