So one of my leds burnt out in my tail lights and its a visual annoyance

I called Matrix Racing up and talked to Alex and we do have a year warranty on our tail lights from when we bought them.

I need to mail my tail light out and they will send me a replacement.

I have two months left for my warranty on these, I am glad I called and asked instead of not doing anything about this, I asked if I could replace the led but its not so easy to do.

Check your lights and make sure you don't have a bad led on any of them and if you do, you have a warranty on them and call alex up to fix the problem if you have one.

Most of the time the LED's don't burn out. Most of the time the "burnt out" LED has just developed a cold solder joint. If you or someone you know is handy with electronics, you can try simply re-soldering the LED. A lot of times it will start working again. The hard part is getting the circuit board out of the assembly without damaging the assembly and/or circuit board.

Edit: If you still have warranty on your lights, by all means take advantage of your warranty. My suggestion is for anyone without a warranty, and nothing to lose by trying to fix it themselves.
