LED Taillight bulb replacement?

Hi fellow members,
I have an aftermarket LED taillight installed for several years now and really loved it. And recently I found out one of the bulb from each side has burned out. I would like to know if anyone has done this and can share some information on how to replacing the bulbs on these LED tail lights.
Cheers
-Billy

If any of the LED's have stopped working you're out of luck. They can't be replaced.

You have to get the whole new assembly, or deal with that LED bulb out.

What model/model year/build date electrical system and tail lights are we considering here? There's no signature or info with vehicle details?

i know its an old thread.. but I am in the same boat now.
top part is out of the LED tail...

Is the only option a new tail?
No way to fix/replace the LEDs?

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
The tails are cheap enough to get a new set. If you verified the connections are good then buy a new set
