One of the LEDs in my Tom's tail lights went out. :( I was hoping to avoid it as Brandon had the same issue, but it seems it's my turn. Anyone know of anyone that's fixed an LED in the Tom's before?

I don't remember if you guys mentioned taking apart the unit, or if it's welded/sealed.

Brandon said it was sealed.

While I'm 100% confident in fixing the guts, not so much with the best way to get it apart.

I guess that will be my task then to figure out how to unseal it without making it unusable.

If you don't find a better solution, JB Weld will be our friend. There's also an amazing flexible epoxy we might consider.

if i went aftermarket, i'd go TOM's. But! seems like all aftermarket lights have dead led issues.

If they're fused like OEM tails you can use a soldering iron to slowly cut your way through, it's what the people who paint the inside of their tails do. Then close it up with aquarium sealant after.

well that sucks, how long have you had the toms? mine are still good but have the one reflector on the drivers side that isn't set correctly anymore

Man this ain't good, I just got my Tom's tails a couple weeks ago
