Looking for LED Part

[MrDave]

Hello All

This is my first post on this form. I have not been much of a form user so go easy on me.

My 1997 Boxster was purchased with led tail lights manufactured by LH Group. Since, I have had a failure of a part (see pics). The light is 80-1224C and the part is tagged 1224SY2 right.


On the working side (LH) the part outputs 12 volts. on the non-working side its measures 4v sometimes and other times nothing. I have been told its a resistor but shouldn't I be measuring a voltage drop on the working side? My first real question is - What is this part?


The second question is where do I get a new one? Here is where the story gets weird. When I contact the company they will NOT tell me what the part is saying that I need to speak with a distributor of the tail light. When I ask for a distributor the claim they do not know where the lights go ! Does anyone know where i can buy these lights and maybe replacement parts?

Thanks!

Just to update everyone. I ended up taking a hack saw to the box and cutting it into slices. I then reversed engineered a new one with some resistors and diodes that I had on hand. The up side to starting from scratch is I was able to match the intensity of the lights to the other lights on the car.

i am facing the same issue with one of my lights, do you remember what resistors/diodes you used?

I believe they were 300 ohm and The diodes were roughly 3 amp/ 600v. Which is over kill but its what I had on hand.
