LED out in my G5

[randuff]

So my passenger tail light has the bottom LED out on the side marker (the row of 4)

Have only had the item for a month and asking the eBay seller about exchange but if I can't is there a way to replace a single LED???


Most people wouldn't notice this but now that I have it bugs the shit out of me....

I had one of those go out on my 07 Charger, after that a whole row of LEDs went out and after that the crap wouldnt turn on. so I did what I do best threw them in the dumpster. haha
wish I could help but im pretty sure that you cant get access to those LEDs without taking apart the whole taillight.

replacing that LED will involve cutting into the back of the housings, they cant be opened otherwise

bake em desolder em solder new one in then seal back up

When GM light assys have leds that go out, if the truck is under warranty, they replace them for free. I say this to point out that even oem light assys get replaced instead of individual leds. Hopefully the ebay merchant you dealt with honors whatever warranty/return policy is associated with your purchase.

they wont bake open, they are sonic welded....need to cut to get to the LEDs
