My left tail light is completely out and I have the slightest clue on what to do. Do I need to buy a whole other set or is there a way to change the led bulb its self? I have no brake, turn signal or nothing. photo 2 (1).jpg

Fuse(s)? I'd grab a VOM and check for voltage(s) on the harness to narrow down the issue.

Did you try swapping taillights to rule out a faulty taillight?

Definitely hook the right light up to your left wiring and see what happens.

So I've switched the tails from working side to not working side and the left light still doesn't work on the right. Plugged the right to the left and nothing, even put stock bulbs in sockets on the left and nothing. All the fuses were good too so I'm thinking the wiring is fried somewhere and it killed the left tail light. Got an appt scheduled with a shop to figure it out, its above my head. We had lightning hit a tree bout 10 yds from my truck so I dunno if that had anything to do with it. Wish me luck :emotions122:

Do let us know how you fix it if you do.

So I found out that either the lightning that hit close to the house fried the circuit board in the left tail light or it was a faulty circuit board itself. So I had to put the stock one's back in for now. Does anyone know if it's possible to buy just one aftermarket tail light or do they all have to be sold in pairs? If so where? I've looked and came up with nothing. I highly doubt it but wishful thinking never hurts right.
