    Just noticed that one of the LEDs in my third brake light in my rear deck is out. I haven't removed it to inspect the feasibility of a repair but was wondering in advance if anyone has any thoughts on replacing the burned out LED(?)

    Thanks, Ken

    Not this device in particular, but LEDs don't usually burn out with normal use... more often it is a bad solder joint on the circuit board

    I have removed the third light and disassembled. It does not have LED’s.but small soldered in place incandescent bulbs. Don’t know where you can find them. I replaced them with high intensity white LED’s. You have to either have one current limiting resister for the whole fixture or add one for each LED.

    Great. Thanks for the heads up. Never would have expected to open that light up and see incandescent bulbs in a 2003 model ( insert any car here) ;)
    I can understand incandescent tail light bulbs that are easily replaced, but this as a unit, I am surprised.
