Default 04 LS430 LED Taillight out. Replace whole thing?

Has anyone had their 04-06 LED Taillights go out?

Mine started with the inner bottom trunk taillight going out.

Few weeks later, all the lights on the trunk was inoperable.

I tried to take it apart to see if I can remove the LEDs for replacement but it looked impossible due to tight space.

The outer taillights still work, so I am not overly concern, but it looks ugly.

Any input?

The whole light assembly has to be replaced since the LEDs or circuitry is faulty and not DIY repairable.

Ugh. This seems like a common 04 burn out.
