...Is there a simple way to open the tail light assembly to fix this, or is it sealed and meant to be replaced whole?
Hi,
I got the same problem - even started to look for red light bulb thinking that previous owner mounted white there and I have overlooked that.
Unfortunately the whole module is sealed and red cup over the bulb is attached with two crappy plastic latches that tends to be brittle over time. So, I suppose you still have one with cup and the other broken is loose inside the module. What I did was disassembling the unit so I could hold it upside down until I got red cup again in right position and pieces of broken latch are gone (lots of shaking, piece of wire to aim it and lots of patience). I have managed to aim with one remaining latch and still upside down glue the cup into right position. Gluing with superglue like that is annoying and for sure you will get it on your fingers - but it is quickes way to hold it still. Once attached firmly I could hold it in comfortable position and secured it more with some resin glue in place.
So basically I glue it back for good now, the other method would be paint white bulb with red nail polish and forgot about loose cup inside:) however lights may not be with equal red tone.. Red bulbs does not exist (in DK) so you could paint yellow one for better match.
Good luck with it.
