| Description of the problem | I was asked to pull over by a friend who told me the brake lights weren't activating on the passenger side of the vehicle. Center and left side were operational. When i turn off the headlights, the brake lights are operational. An obvious system failure within the sealed light. Cannot replace this led light, the entire tail lamp unit must be removed. Checked with various parts and dealership ($400+) seems excessive for a tail light that costs $2-3 in an ordinary tail light system. *js |
