    Exclamation LEDs In Reflector Burnt Out... Fix?

    Hey everyone,

    2 or 3 LEDs in my rear smoked reflector seem to be burnt out . Can this be fixed by replacing the burnt ones, or does the entire reflector have to be replaced?

    I'm sure you can open it up and try to replace the LEDs, but if it were me, I would just grab 2 new ones.

    the reflectors are sealed pretty well. I assume you would have to dremel them open and then reseal them so they would fit in the bumper properly. As Ryan mentiond i highly suggest you go out and pick up another set

    I shorted out one of my rear LED reflectors. We could split the cost of a new set if you are interested.
