That sucks man. Glad to hear you left that place quickly. I'd be certain to warn my family and friends about that place.
FWIW, I noted a similar problem with one of my license plate lights not working and the other light dimly lit. But just as you stated, I just unscrewed and removed the light housing for access to both bulbs. I replaced both bulbs with LED bulbs from Khoalty (super bright ), but waited on the housing because I wasn't going to pay Tischer $14 to ship me two light housings that cost $14. Tischer now offers $7.95 priority mail shipping on orders under $75 for "smaller" parts.

Sorry I posted in the wrong section guys. Bill, thanks, I will check out Tischer for the housings. Good to know about the shipping.
It's not in the wrong area. But I think we have an even better place for it.
No worries, brother.

Going to check those out right now, thanks
So a guy went ahead and unscrewed your trunk handle and then broke the housing? This is the shit that pisses me off. Nobody touches my car before I give them the okay. Thank god I can DIY this car. Go back there, tell the owner his employee is a douche and then kindly tell him you'll never visit his shop again.

I can understand people being in a situation where they need to make ends meet (tough times now days), but for a business to lie to you in order to pressure a sale, that's just wrong. I would do like others have suggested and go back there with your receipt for the $7 part.
