This is crazy. The light does have to be replaced as an assembly if the side marker light goes out.
There are 3 specialty screws that have to be removed. The light assembly has to be warmed up enough to soften the glue to separate the housing to gain access to the faulty bulb/LED... what a pain in the butt.
If my side marker light fails, I will update this tread, because I will try to fix it. I just don't want to have to replace it (you know, in case it breaks while trying to take it apart) until absolutely necessary.
Tail Lamp, US, Canada, Mexico - Mopar (68256055AA) the best price that I have found for a new part.
… talk about stupid engineering.
