All 4 rear lights out on Hatch
I had my dashboard replaced under the extended 10 year warranty on my 2009 (svc date 3/30/08) RX 350. I also had my battery replace, new water pump, and new front brakes - and a wash. Everything seemed fine when I got it back until a week later when I drove after dark for the 1st time.
When I turned my lights from auto to on, the tail light indicator came on. The brake lights on both sides that are actually on the car work, the 3rd brake light in spoiler of the hatch works, but the 4 tail lights (2 on either side) do not light up at all - almost like the are not getting any power, With my lights off, I do not get the indicator when I touch my brakes (but none of the 4 lights on the hatch light up at all when I depress the brakes).
Any suggestions on what might be causing this before I trek an hour away back to the dealer? Could a wire have gotten pinched when they replaced the dashboard? Is there a fuse for just these 4 lights that wouldn't impact anything else? Thanks for helping me figure this out.

Replace with oem bulbs, don't go less. I went with less and the computer still reads that there's no bulb because the of low wattage draw of the led. So right now my buld out dash warning light is on all the time. I put a piece of black tape to cover it because ita so annoying.
