Driver side taillight out

So my driver side taillight seems to be out, I think it's the running light. I get error code CC-ID 378 on the dash. Anyone know how to replace it and what bulb I would need!?

Thanks !

If you get close enough and compare each side you should be able to see which bulb exactly is out.

As for replacing - open the trunk, pull off the gray carpeted cover (it just has flaps no tools needed), squeeze the plastic tabs on the back of the tail light and it'll pop out. Remove the bulb and replace.

My normal method is to just read the stampings on the actual bulb and then get another one like it. There are also bulb guides on this site for everything, just have to search for them.

The driver side tail light LED strips appear to be really dim.

Hey there I had the same issue pop up on mine, took it to my mechanic that replaced the bulb and removed the error although my LED strip at the back on both tail lights no longer work :/

Im not sure what to do now, because my running lights at the back are now out.

Near same issue here. Left brake tailoght was out and so I replaced it. Left work fine but now my right turn signal bulb doesn't work at all.(I changed all my bulbs) I reversed bulbs, put the old ones in again, nothing. I check if I was getting power with a meter and it was totally dead. Taking it In on Tuesday for a mechanical mystery so I'll ask about the tailoght was well. Any other checks or "fixes" I should try?

Look at the blackline diy guides to see how to get to the tail lights to change bulbs. However I recommend just getting blackline tail lights the look is so much nicer in my opinion

I would agree but I tinted mine red and I honestly love the way they look. I checked the fuses and they were all fine so this is a weird one 🤷🏽*♂️

This happened on one of my blacklines like 4 years after purchasing. The entire light had to be replaced. There were some DIYs about swapping out the control board in there but you'd have to cut out the sides of the housing to access it which ultimately didn't work out so good.
