Brake light out...
Apparently I'm the first one on the internet for this to happen to. I can't believe how little info there is on this except "it's a LED"
Do I really have to get a whole new housing, or is there a way to change out the LEDs?
Please tell me I don't need a new housing.
It's a 2011 if that matters.
Thanks!

What's the parts diagram say ? Typically w/ assembly the "lightbar" is a separate part inside a housing ... many are just a sealed lightbar/ lens. Have never encountered a set up with ability to switch out an individual LED. If the whole bar is out -- look for some other problem. If it's just one LED .... e-bay get a used one.

I almost forgot to update this:
Turned out it was most likely a connection issue.
I put the light back on just to drive around while I waited for a new housing (that I luckily hadn't ordered) and it just started working again.
While removing it I noticed one of that connections was slightly janky, so I'll assume it was that one. I got rear ended a while ago so it was probably the body shops fault.
