LED tail light bars dim on one side
 
The driver's side tail light (below the C Pillar not the one on the lift gate) LED bars have dimmed explicably, rest all light up just fine. I unmounted the tail light and tried to look for a circuit board but there does not seem to be one and/or is not accessible/serviceable. Anyone else see this issue and fix it short of replacing the tail light?

Thanks

Are those LEDs on the OE lights or just light pipes from a regular bulb? Asking because I am not sure.

Light Pipes but the OE tail light assembly, I think they are powered by LEDs.

I thought pre lci lights were regular bulbs and not led.

LED tail light bars dim on one side
 
The brake lights are but not the the running/parking lights. The bars/strips are like the angel eyes has LED at the ends and illuminated across.

Appreciate any ideas on how to fix the LED light bars, before I go out and buy the light assembly

BTW, any experiences in installing only 1 new light assembly (Magnetti Marelli), does it stand out wrt the older, possibly faded ones. If it does I would rather get one from salvage.

Thanks

Very easy to install. I have a full set I can sell you. Perfect condition without any discoloration. Came off my E70.

How much are you looking for the whole set? is it pre-LCI or post?

Thanks

Hey! It's a Pre-LCI set. I could do $150 + shipping for the set.

I really just need the driver's side, not sure if you are open to that?

Thanks
