LED taillight issue on a 2008 SR5...

[Buzzyfalls]

I am the proud new owner of a 2008 SR5 4WD (1st time 4runner owner)... I purchased it from a private seller and the only problem I noticed is that the passenger LED tail light is Dimmer than the driver side. Any trouble shooting advice would be greatly appreciated.

(The Brake and Reverse lights seem to be the same brightness)

Thanks,

Buzzy

check the connections could be loose

It's possible the previous owner replaced/had it replaced with a crappy aftermarket taillight. Perhaps a collision or something similar?

if they look like this they are oem lights

when I originally inspected everything the connections looked good... In better light I can see what looks like superglue reside. Looks like I will be buying a new tail light assembly. Thanks for all of the quick replies!!!

you are wrong, you must look closely on the bottom part of the light, if it says toyota its oem, if it says depo or tyc its aftermarket.
