A Few Led's Out In My Brake Light, Any Way To Fix?

[upstateNYlex]

im about to call up the dealer to get a price on a new spoiler brake light because 5 or 6 of the LEDs right in the center of the light are out..im sure it wont be cheap so before i call does anyone know if just the few LED's can be replaced and how, or do i really have to buy a whole new light...

thanks in advance for the help

so i just called the nealest lexus stealer which is about an hour from where i live. the LED alone costs $250 not including installation. i checked out the spoiler and there arent any screws or anything like that to even take the light out...does anyone have any info on how this part can be removed so if i do end up buying it i can just have it sent here instead of driving 2 hours to the dealer and having them charge me another $100 just to install the light which will probably take them about 2 seconds.

Led's don't usually burn out , maybe it is the connection in the spoiler itself [ especially if there are several led's not lighting ]

my friend told me the same thing, thats what i thought the whole benefit of LED's was, that they pretty much never burn out...any suggestion on how to get them working again? the light is pretty self contained im not even sure how it detatches from the wing (no screws)..im assuming it snaps but i dont want to break a clip by just yanking at the thing till its out....

There should be double sided adhesive holding the led panel in place or 2 screws under the led panel [ probably painted red ] If it is the double sided tape it pulls off [ get a hair dryer and heat the panel , this should aid in the removal ] I'm trying my best to help you !!!

The connector runs down the passenger side of the spoiler and attaches to the passenger rear taillight , check all the connections. ;) I hope this helps .

if some don;t light then it needs to be removed and the board the diodes are on needs to be inspected with a multimeter to find the faults where it has broken contact and they need to be resoldered
