Default Tail & Turns

What type of bulbs and how many are used in our tail light.

I believe they are all LED.

Is the turn light bulb a separate bulb from the brake light bulb?

The turn signal is amber, is the bulb amber or clear with the lense providing the amber color?

It's a sealed lamp. I'm not sure how you'd get in there to change a bulb. I've read about people baking those things to break the seal, but I know I would melt mine and probably start a fire if I tried. I dunno, maybe someone else knows or has cracked one open.

There are no bulbs. All functions are LED arrays, soldered on a PCB. Nothing is end user serviceable.

Forgot about this tread I started last month.

You might be right about them being on a PCB in the rear but I'm not so sure about the fronts. Plus I know they are not user replaceable.

However, many folks have experimented with other cars and have come up with some unique modifications.

I have an idea along these lines and wanted to see if anyone had any info on the interior of these lights.

Thanks All, sorry for the dupe post.
