Hybrid Tail lights

[elmn8r.al]

Hey guys, newbie elmn8r.al here. I recently bought a used 2008 Hybrid Tahoe and have been very impressed with the innovation in these vehicles. Last night though I ran into my first disappointment. I noticed my left tail light was out, so I of course pulled out the taillamp assembly and checked for power at the connector. It was ok so the obvious was replace the bulb, Ooops, LEDS! The owner's manual advises take it to the dealership! Do I really have to replace the tail light assembly?

elmn8r.al,

I’m sorry you are experiencing this issue. This issue may be the result of a connection issue. The assembly may not need to be replaced. I recommend consulting with your dealer for an official diagnosis.

Keep us posted.
