Aftermarket LED tails question

I m having problems with my leds some are on some are not. I was wandering is it possible to take apart and put new bulbs in. I too all screws from tail and still doesnt open. Do u have to bake em like the headlights. Only thing about that is the bulbs will still be inside of housing. I knew this would happen one day shoulda gottin the regular red/clear tails. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me. Its an 2002 ls 430

Are you using resistors on all the lights? You can't just stick the bulbs in and expect them to work.

Sounds like cheap a$$ bulbs or resistors that are already dead. Good LED's will outlast the car.

I was thinkin what about just swappin out the outer len ( covers) for the red/clear look . At this point I just want dull amber oem tail gone. - seen some ls430's on youtube with hella leds on the tail, why are we so limited here. I may have to customize mines myself.

I also have the ones from Option Racing and have had no problems for years. I have heard of people having burnt out LED bulbs. Just contact Option Racing and they might replace them.
