It’s a sealed unit. All LED’s. The entire assembly will need to be replaced.

Try buying a used unit...some here have installed Zo6 units in their Stingray and may be willing to sell the original unit they removed...

The only incandescent bulbs are in the cargo area and the license plate.

Post up a wanted to buy thread in the C7 Parts for Sale/Wanted section and see if someone has a taillight assembly they will part with. New will not be cheap.

Thanks for all the replies. I just wanted to know how to replace the "bulbs" not the housing. Everyone was very helpful.
