return to EON factory... haha..
or try cabut the cover out and see if the whole LED panel detachable or not... if its detachable, try if u can detact the LED one by one... then u can change adi lo...

kyoici-san,
takumi here... hehehe ;)

i don think can replace wan,
normally people buy 3rd brake lite at acc shop.

check the other connection (especially the wire that run thru the boot to your spoiler) before dismantling the whole thing. Not advisable to 'cabut' the cover out though coz it has been ultrasonic sealed. It is rarely the fault of single LEDs that will result the whole thing malfunction.

i hv checked. seems the connection is loose. i sambung it, and the leds did light up but it is dim. How to 'brigthen it'?

brighten it ar??... cannot i guess, unless u change to bigger LED... of u can polish the brake light surface and it crystal clear...

coz the led is dim. at night, I test again.U know what I see? Those LEDs are blinking, their brightness kept changing ( dim,bright,dim, bright....) sort of signal style. How do I rectify this?

Bro,

Don't bother to take apart the LED to try to replace the resistors, it is to much of a hassle unless you are the DIY kind.

Also, don't bother to try to buy the LED set from Proton, I have enquired and it cost RM400 for a set.

The easiest solution which I did was to buy a complete spoiler with good condition LED from a half cut shop and replace the whole unit. It's a bonus if you can find a spoiler with the same colour as your car.

The one I bought cost about RM80.00.

its kinda tough to find chop shop in my area. but i think ur solution is good, i am seriously considerating. Gotta look 4 a shop....gotta look.......thanks 4 the solution,risyia. I will try it.

well i chaned b4... normallay when it burn one led.. then 4 led will die together... mean u need to figur which led burn to get the other 3 led to on back... use a 3-5v battery and test eat battery..... then u found the burn one jus replace it.. then all will light up.....

but normally u also need to check ur resistor... 1 resistor = 4 led....

the hardest thing is removing the cover... remvoe the whole thing is easy but the cover is glue hard... u need a plastic cutter to cut the glue place... then only can remove... remember to glue back after done...
