Rear tail light question, need help

My 07 vantage has a passenger tailight that is out...Only the light and brake light. The reverse and blinker work. Wouldnt the car signal it that it was out? What else can it be outside of burned LED bulb? Car only has 10k miles?

Let me know as I might order new tails if there is no better fix to the issue, and its quite costly.

You know, its VERY rare for LED's to crap out. Before you order new lamps, its worth taking those apart and checking for 12v to the module, and perhaps there is even a ground out short in the wiring. I suspect that it's something leading to the lamps, but not the LED's themselves.

A lot of times it's the circuit board inside the lamp assembly that fails. The only problem is trying to take apart the assembly without destroying it.
