Interesting little problem with my tail light...
So I have a few "malfunction" notifications regarding light bulbs. In addition to the turn signals in my mirrors, I get the L. tail light, rear fog light, and a couple of others. So last night I went to O'Reilley and bought a couple of replacement bulbs.
When I go to replace the bulbs in the left tail light, they still don't work! I realized that there is a metal strip/lining which is missing from the tail light assembly and this metal strip conducts power to these bulbs, which have no electrical connectors just plug into these plastic things.
So can I buy a replacement metal strip or do I need a whole new tail light? I already have new bulbs
