LEDTail light failure
Has anyone experienced failure of the LED tail lights. My 2013 coupe has a block of LEDS out. The LED bulbs are not replaceable, must replace the complete light. Wholesale price from dealer with tax only $368.00, and I installed it. If the dealer did this repair would have been close to $600.00. I thought a key benefit of LED bulbs is that they last a very long time. Car is 51/2 years old.

You can replace LED segments but there is a certain skill level and parts availability required. I haven’t looked inside an LED tail light, so I can’t speak to the difficulty level, but I have replaced LED segments on flight engine instruments and imaging / targeting systems.
This sounds like a business opportunity. There may even be LED repair/exchange services already.
If I had the tail light, this would be a good opportunity to try and fix it and maybe even recoup some of the cost of your replacement.
