How do you fix SS 3rd light led's

So, I noticed that I have 6 led lights out on my 3rd brake light SS wing. Does anyone know how to fix them? Or is it too much of a hassle and I should just buy the replacement bar. If that's the case where is the best place to get it from. I tried ebay but couldn't couldn't find it.

It seems to be very common, but no one has a real solution.
thanks guys

Just replace it. Hawks Third Gen sells them on their site and on eBay as well

I just found out in the summer, my cousin was inside my garage when I was reversing and he told me I had a few out

I wished he never told me. A few weeks ago I saw another 4th gen. SS with the same problem too.

Here's mine....

you can probably buy a replacement led and fix it yourself if you have any soldering skills.

The hard part wouldn't be repairing/replacing the LEDs, I think the hard part would be getting inside to do it in the first place. Those probably don't come apart too easily I suspect.

That's why in the end I would just buy a full replacement one and be done with it.
