Quick question (hoping for a quick fix!)

I converted to LED lights a while back. My tail light is out. It's the flat panel of LEDs. So yes, it's not supposed to be burned out yet sooooo do I replace the panel or could it be a wiring issue? Just looking for some suggestions on where to start. I couldn't find any threads about replacing the burned out bulbs.....

Its probably a bad ground. the load on LED's is very low so grounding is very important and can be hard to maintain. It could be internal but not very likely.

How do I go about fixing it?

check the socket with a volt meter to see if your getting power to the light, if not then its your wiring not the led.

I know a guy that would be happy to help, but I also know that doesn't help you learn. Bet he could stop and give some pointers;)

Sure! I even have a volt meter. It's one of a few things on my to do list before my Bronco gets abducted by an Oakie.

As long as I get to the LEBC Round Up on time I'll be good. With or without taillights. Although I haven't had the best luck lately....
