GL 450 Rear LED Turn Signals

Seems my 2010 GL turn signals are shorting. Dealer says one of LED bulbs is out. Just off warranty. Cost $1200, says have to replace whole light assembly. Coincidentally both sides go at once. Bizarre but true. Anyone know a cheaper route? Seems bulbs should be replaceable.

The LEDs are not designed to be replaceable.
A good auto electronics shop or maybe an electronics hobbyist may be able to disassemble the lamp and replace the LED elements that are bad.

Checking back on this - how did you fix this? Did you replace the whole light assembly?
