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.
