G5 bulb replacement???

[ctahoe09]

Alright the other day I saw that 2 of the LED lights on the G5's have burnt out, so my question is, is there anyway to replace just the 2 little bulbs? or do I just have to buy a whole new tail light? And if there is away to replace the 2 little bulbs, how can I do it myself? thanks for your help

I am sure you would have to take the lights apart and desolder the burnt LEDs, then resolder the new LED's in. Finding the LEDs to match the old ones may be a pain too

I wouldn't know where to begin to take the lights apart.... sounds like a pain....

If they're out of warranty, unless you have a friend fluent in led replacement, you're better off getting a new one.

Btw, you can maybe PM Faites777 to see how much he would charge you to fix it. It might be worth it if you can't find an unpaired G5 lamp on its own. He's not around a lot but maybe he'll get your PM via email.

Soulsea didn't you have a set of G5's? If so are they for sale?

I sold those a long time ago ... I'm sorry.
