Posted this on general forum, just want to see if I can get more technical response here

One of my rear-side marker lights is not lighting up. Since the other side is working fine, I don't think it is a fuse issue.

Checked the manual, it has the guidance to replace all light bulbs except the rear-side marker light. Instead it says:
"Rear side-marker lights: Due to the complexity and difficulty of the procedure, the bulbs should be replaced by an Authorized Mazda Dealer."

In the specification of the light bulbs section, it says "The rear side-marker light bulbs cannot be replaced because they are an LED-type bulb. The rear combination component must be replaced."

Does that mean I have to replace the WHOLE rear bulb component (including brake light/turn signal light etc.) ?

Anyone has experience with this?

BTW: it is a 2007.

Thanks all.
