Default Inner tail lamp 2004

Just realized the driver side inner tail lamp is 2/3 out of service. What's my options? Is it repairable? Soldering, 3D printing, … it's a 2004. Thx.

I read that thread though. It mainly focuses on the outer tail lamp with one statement "(I expect the inner tail lights have similar construction)". Does that mean the inner unit also equips with the resistor array that may needa be replaced?

You need to see the post No.20.
It is the often case that LEDs are dead.

Alright. Gotta get a Dremel, LEDs, and some material to design the casing closure when done. Luckily the outer lamp is still working for an non-urgent repair. Thx. v. much.
