Driver’s side tail LED’s not lighting up


hey guys. So the other day someone told me at a light that my drivers side tail light is out. so when I checked it, the turning signal bulb works, but when i step on the brakes it doesn’t light up as bright as the other side. It’s lit up and on but not very bright at all. Does anyone know what could be done to fix it? Besides buying a brand new tail light?

Here’s a picture of what I’m talking about

Aside from buying a whole new tail light you can try just replacing the LEDs. You'd have to bake/cut them to get it open but it can be done. I actually have a set of LEDs that came out of my coupe. PM me if you're interested.
