Third brake light problem

3 of the LED's have gone out.. Anyone know if they're replaceable or if the entire unit has to be replaced?

entire unit needs to be replaced. If your car under factory warranty, they will do for free, otherwise you are out of luck. let me know you need a part number, I have it somewhere laying around.
