    Just wondering if anyone else is having problems with these? Had them about 6 months and now left brake light not working. LED's are working when lights are turned on but this left brake just not getting brighter. Figure it's not the brake light switch since the 3rd brake light comes on and the right light working. Thoughts besides......aftermarket lights?

    Weird, I've only had mine for about 4 months. Could be a short or faulty wiring. I'd try and pull the taillight out and look at the wiring, try wiggling it and see if it changes. If not, could be something with the led board, which I'm not sure if you can replace easily

    Yeah, figured I'd try to take both out and plug right one in if connector the same and see if works. Deductive reasoning. If so then guess I'll be wiggling wires. Hopefully won't have to buy another set. If anybody has a right one not working let me know. Maybe we can split the cost.

    Yeah, do what you said, good idea. And hope it gets solved too, could always try contacting the seller. And idk if you'll be able to find those taillights again, they were difficult for me to find.

    Yeah, love the way they look and quality lenient seem bad. Just cross my fingers I can figure it out without having to replace. Gotta put my bumper and winch on this weekend so guess it'll have to wait a bit longer. Haha

    Those taillights have a 1 year warranty. At least that's what I was told when I bought them. Could always try that before spending another $130+. Try contacting the seller or depo and see what they say. I have had mine since February without issue. Hope it's not common.
