Bad leds, cheapo fix?

Well, both my led rears gave up on me. And I just got a fix-it ticket last night. Around town here I have seen a large number of these cars that the trunk lights are totally out and just acting as reflectors while the corner lights are operating as brake/signals. This seems like a more viable option than chucking out 80 bucks for another set that will, without a doubt, fail. Does anyone here know how this is done? I assume you just cut the wires to the leds and wire them up to the corners but I just wonder if anyone knows the EXACT way to do this?

Just unplug the LED reflector panels if you do not like how they look.
The panels are decorative and serve no other purpose.

Its not that I don't like the appearance, its that they are broken and I don't have blinkers or brake lights because the led panels are the blinkers and brakes...

Are your original, stock, corner, brake lights/turn signals not working?

I assume not... I've got that BLINKYBLINKYBLINKYBLINKY thing going on and I just pulled the bulbs out and they aren't burnt out... Should I complete the curcuit in the led lead with a wire and see if that helps?

Lol... I did all these mods here in my signature myself and I can't figure out tail lights

Get your original, stock, corner, brake lights/turn signals working.
That's what the "fix-it ticket" is for.

Have your LED reflector panels been modified to function as blinkers and brake lights?

I didn't know that was a mod... Ok then the answer is yes
