Broken tail light bulb?
I just noticed on my right tail light.. on the most outter right side... the red light is out. Not the circle light but the side light... Am i able to replace this bulb? or do i have to replace the whole tail light??

those two "strake" ones are LED, and just took a quick look at the tail light I have with me, it doesn't look like you can replace them. Double check and see if it is just bad connection.

If your tail had condensation in it, I would wait until the next time it's got some water in it and then take it to the dealer to replace. I know they replaced mine last year under warranty, no problems at all. I don't think there's any way to replace those lights. And at any rate, those LEDs will essentially never burn out, so if they've stopped working, it's got to be for some other reason so replacing the light itself wouldn't fix it.
I agree with conun though, check the connection first. One time I had about 1" of standing water in my taillights, so I removed them, pulled the bulbs out, and let them dry out, but when I put them back in I forgot to connect those wires on one side - it's really easy to miss them.
