You can cut open the housing and replace the LED. I used a hack saw and went around the edges and popped it apart. Installed the new LED and super glued back together. LEDs are cheap. They were available from Radio Shack but they are going out of business.

After doing the mod, you cant tell if from the OEM.

I cut my old side marker apart and never finished the job. I bought several high quality leds from radio shack and then bought a new side marker .I need to complete the project.

ok cut it open, swapped LED's , not working. Used all electronics cat#led-912, ref 1726889. any ideas? 12 volts to the leds verified. Wrong LEDS? They are soldered in per the schematic on the board.
Thanks

Just in case anyone reads this, all of my replacement red leds from allelectronics.com were bad. I put in 2 amber leds, they work fine. This is an 80 cent repair for the side markers! Just need to find a good supplier of the red leds.
