I noticed my 3rd brake light was out on my 2019 hatchback. How do I change out the bulb? It doesn’t seem like you can do it without taking everything apart lol

I called to ask what bulb it was and they said it’s $140 and I have to replace the whole thing because it’s led but I don’t believe that.
Call a different place lol, I never changed it before so idk but that's expensive

It is LED on the hatchback, not a bulb. It's like the tailights - you can only replace the back up and turn signal bulbs in the cluster, but the LEDs for the taillights you can't. In that thread, they are talking about the sedan, which uses a regular bulb.

I'd inquire about it being a warranty issue, surely a LED should last a year?

I second going forward with a warranty claim. You surely fall under the B2B warranty and LEDs lasting a year is not normal.
