Default Rear LED error

Left rear inner most light is out (closest to trunk) bulb seems to be fine. Does anyone have a link to purchase an LED board? Or any recommendations? Thanks

I would pull the tail lamp assy. out and see if you can determine what failed on it. Perhaps a solder joint went cold on the board and is intermittent?

Well, it is definitely not intermittent, it is out. My technician was really trying to get the car out for me Friday to get it tinted (came out great), we did not have the time to test for power or see if there were any burn marks. He said that the bulb is perfectly fine. I may look at it today. Has anyone had this issue?

mine is intermittently off. At first i thought it was totally gone and was ready to buy a new light, but just to be sure double checked last night and it was on! By the time I got back though it was off again. I went back and opened the trunk and it came on again. What should I check? How do I go about pulling this out?? I am not handy at all.

You most likely have a loose connection somewhere in the circuit.
