Depo tail light problem

I have the blacked out housing tail lights installed on my 2013 Tacoma. The depo ones. Recently, my passenger brake lights have been screwing up. Sometimes it's bright but more times than not the light emitting is dim. Anyone else with this problem? Fix? Lights are about a year old

 

Have you try reseating the connection? My passenger side went out so I decided to reseat the connections and it's been working fine the last couple of months.

 

Yes I took them out, disconnected everything and checked wires, etc. all good but I'm assuming it's the actual LED's..which it doesn't look like I can disassemble ...

 

Funny enough mine did the same and this is what I did to fix it as well.

 

Any resolution on this @TacoAF

(Really like that screen name also)

My DEPO driver side tail light won't work. Turn Signal works, reverse light works.

When I press the brake it won't light up!!!! When the dtrl or headlights are on the LED brake light is more dim than the right side. But it is getting power.

Just when you hit the brake it all goes black!!! Have taken both lights off and switched to the opposite side and verified it's the light.

Any help would be appreciated

 

Just a thought, maybe look into an LED relay to replace the OEM tail light relay or maybe install resistors

 

Growl.

Cheap ass lights. I guess got what I paid for. Anybody have any tail lights for sale??

 

FWIW, I installed an LED flasher relay on my first gen to correct hyper blinkers after I installed LEDs. Cost me less than 10 bucks and was plug not play install. Easy Pease. Worth at least looking into

 

My depo led black tail lights went out less then a year on the driver side Glad I kept my stocks though

 

Yeah, was it just the actual Led brake section??

 

Yup and I tried to look to see if they sell only the driver side.....nope

 

I switched the lights (left to right and right to left) and it didn't change anything. Pretty sure it's the light. Before I bought them I searched on here and everybody seemed to like them without issue.

Now I hear that people have had this exact same issue before. Blows

 

Well this is discouraging. I better watch them closely. Only had them since last fall.

 

Yup I'm not going to buy another pair until the issues are fixed.

 

I had a very similar issue, so I removed the lights, unplugged them, cleaned off the bulbs and connectors and they've been fine ever since!

 

Did did any of you come stock with LED lights like me or the regular halogens?

 

Stock LEDs, mine is a 2015

 

stock LEDs for my 2013. 2009 is the year they switched to LED if my memory serves me right.

 

Ooh I thought I was on the higher trims only

 

It kinda is. I know the SR5s and up had the LEDs where the base model still carry the halogens
