I have an 05 Altima that I installed LED tail lights on back in March. I was taking a picture of my car this evening when I noticed three of the LED bulbs are not as bright as the others and do not brighten when the brakes are applied. This is what it looks like:



The three at the top left of the area are the dim ones (obviously). Anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this? If they aren't staying just one brightness, they will flicker when the brakes are applied.

Let me know if anyone knows how to fix this. The inside of the lighting unit is identical to an OEM tail light, so in order to get to the bulbs, I'd have to remove the plastic to get to the LED circuit board.

Please help!

Buy a new set. Not sure how those are designed but it could use a set of resistors or relays. Either way they could be toast. Try contacting the manufacturer.
