Default 07 IS250 Tail-light doesn't work

So i purchased a 2007 IS250 and notice the inner tail-light doesn't work when my lights are on. I quickly learned they can't be replaced (called parts store, they dont carry the bulbs and no way to gain access to the bulbs)

How do i replace it? Or do i have to buy a new light? If so can anyone point me in the right direction for a inner taillight (passenger side)

Pretty sure they are LED and I haven't heard of them having issues. I would check that they are plugged in properly. You will have to open the trunk lid and remove the carpeting to get behind the light. I would also check that there's voltage at the plug.

I have confirmed it is the actual bulbs/taillight because i removed both sides and plugged the driver side in the passenger side and it worked fine.

You'll most likely need to buy a new light. There are no bulbs in there, they are LED's.

While searching for something else, I ran across this old thread. I believe the answers to be incorrect. If an LED were the problem, It would be one LED, not both. The connector or the harness is at fault. AMHIK!

Fortunately, they aren't super expensive
