I have a kouki with dmax LED crystal tails. one one of the lights mounted to the car, not the trunk, has a crack and got a little water in it. not an accumulation but I can see condensation in it, and now the light doesn't work. it's the actual LED part, not a normal bulb. Is there a way to fix this? or alternatively, can I buy just that part of the lights from D-MAX or anywhere in the US?

thanks.

i think 4/5 of those LED tails do that. mine was good for a couple years until lately the center piece ges a little condensation when i wash the car. otherwise its okay i think because i keep her in the garage. i really dont think buying a new one will help you. thats my 2cents.

Pretty sure you can find single pieces, I.E left, right or the center panel on eBay. Also re sealing the lights will keep moisture out if you do it right. Get a good clear silicone and take them em apart and re seal them. After drying up the moisture.

it's not the water I'm worried about, the lights don't work. thanks for the replies regardless

^^^ Like some of the other members had said, buy replacement parts on Ebay, or ask FRSport they had some a while back....

I saw a picture of a s10 that had LED tail lights but instead of being on the bumper they were arranged on the tail gate to make the Chevy emblem. How would one do this? Where can I buy the LED lights to do it?
