Inner Tail light not working
Did anyone else run into this issue?
If so is there anyone to repair this or am I going to have to replace the whole assemble? https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/maxima....dcdfb9f61.jpeg |
Replace unless you are under warranty
|
Yeah, warrantee or replace it. Can't repair as it's an LED strip in a sealed housing. I bet that one half is about $200 on the low side...
|
I'd open that sucker up (sealed or not) and attempt a Yankee Ingenuity repair at $200+ replacement cost.

or was it some other part of the back end lighting that is not LED? |
It's LED's defused by something in front, usually a plastic bubble think like a neon tube, but plastic, the light fills in the space much nicer then straight up LED's. I had to replace the outer taillight on my Cadenza, Dealership wanted $530 + tax, I found a Kia parts distributor that offered the OEM part for $325 shipped to my door. That was a steal compared with the dealership's price. I never priced the Cadenza's inner taillight, but figured it had to be about 2/3 the price, that's why I guessed yours is in that same ballpark.
For fun I stripped down the taillight from the Cadenza, again, it was like a plastic tube in front of an LED strip, but the strip was in a circuit board. Millions of dollars of R&D went into designing these lights, there is only a minute chance you'll fix the problem and make it look 100% stock once installed. |

Same here. I thought it was that way from factory. The unlit portion is reflective I believe |
I ended up just getting a new replacement here. It's being shipped now.

Thanks for the follow up. How much was it?. See these on Ebay from time to time

No worries. Shows in the link, think $113 or 130.

There were issues with car ID getting it to me. I
cancelled order, got on Ebay and had a perfect one sent to my house in 3 days for $60. 5 minute install https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/maxima....872dfd537d.jpg |
