    Can anyone tell me how to replace this bulb area in this tail light?
    Bought them in 2014 and now can't find the info to replace, as I now do not have a rear signal light and afraid to get ticketed. Bought on Ebay (yes I know silly thing to do, I was new at aftermarket stuff) Tried the product number in Ebay and nothing comes up anymore, however I have seen very similar lights in other places. Wondering if this a specific light board.
    Would taking it apart solve the problem?
    Thanks

    An aftermarket LED unit. Not able to service that portion and a drop-in 'bulb' solution. I wouldn't take them apart. Find some complete taillight replacements is what I would do.

    Thanks, what I figured after some more research.
    Any recommendations that isn't bank breaking?

    fast and probably cheap, someone else's takeoffs that is trying to sell locally (FBM, CL, TW regional B/S) or from a junkyard from a truck that was in a head-on wreck

    As other mentioned those are low quality aftermarket units that are not serviceable. If looking on a budget, I'd search for some 05 incandescent assemblies, even aftermarket units where you can replace the bulbs. Pricing should be very modest.
