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?

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

Mine is exactly the same. Exactly.

 

 

I ended up just getting a new replacement here. It's being shipped now.
