Left lift gate lamp
Help please, I am having a problem with my left rear tail light. The 4 bars lamp has burnt out or are not working, I cant find a lamp to replace, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

The LED strips aren't bulbs that you simply replace. You have to purchase the taillight assembly for that specific portion on the tailgate.

they stop working because water leaks in and corodes the connections. you can simply change the cluster or take your old one apart an clean up the connection and terminals.

Is there a DIY for this?

I have both sides replaced under warranty, it was a known issue.
