Question about my LCI inner tail lamp..

Johnny_Bravo · 08-18-2019, 10:20 PM

O.k, so I've searched, and been on the net now for close to an hour. My inner tail lamp running light worked really well, and then it started to get dimmer, and dimmer, and now is not working at all.

I've been searching to see if there's a bulb for replacement, but from what I can tell, there is only one bulb in there which looks to me like a rear fog light.

Can anyone please shed some light on this for me? Is there a bulb back there that can be changed, or is it an LED that might have burned out, and the whole unit needs replaced?

I sure appreciate any light that can be shed on it!

That looks normal, there's nothing else that's supposed to be on inside the inner tail lamp except the rear fog when activated.

I believe the tail section on the trunk needs to be replaced. I’m in the same boat and both of mine also look a bit dim. I have noticed the lenses there are kinda hazy
