Wow! Great job and good information, thanks.
2018 Tail lamp LED w/BLIS - repair after led driver failure
The tail light strip led around the assembly went out. It flickered a few times so felt confident it wS the driver that failed and not the leds.
You have to replace the entire assembly for about $760 from Tasca, $1000 from the local dealer. That’s friggin crazy 🤬
In a fit of “what’s the worst I can do”, I took a Fien multi master and split the light open, found the wires, and installed 3 new constant current led drivers (Mean Well HLDD-350HW). One to each strip.
It’ll take a **** of an epoxy job to get it sealed back up but it’s better than dumping an insane amount of money due to a $10 part failure.
Figure someone one day will wonder likeI did if this could be done. Yes it can…not the best…but it worked 🤷🏻♂️
