The gs uses leds on the tail lights so if yours is not working anymore you will have to replace the entire tail light assembly . Not like other cars where you only change the bulbs. I'm not sure if there could be other reasons why the rest of them were off but its possible that they will need to be replaced.

This sounds about right

You could also take a look at the wires going into the tail light assembly and make sure they're secure and not damaged, but since it's only some of the LED rows that aren't working, it's probably an issue with the PCB, which is basically unfixable. You can get a new one for around $320, or check car-parts.com if there's a used one available

Oh and also, welcome to the Club
