Hi People,

New to the post.

Teki is right.

They arn't LED they are a 16watt wedge base bulb.

"Open the tailgate and remove the rubber grommet. Depress the metal spring through the aperature using a flat-bladed screw driver. Unclip the light assembly. Unclip the bulb holder from the light assembly. Pull the bulb out and replace"

*Page 135 of the manual
