Default LED Tail Lights

Hi there, one of my tail lights is out. It's the red one closest to the license plate and attached to the trunk, not the rear panel. I have a couple of questions, both of them so basic that I'm almost too embarrassed to ask:

1) The light that's out is actually the tail light, right? I know it's not the brake light, but if I'm looking for the correct replacement bulb, it's definitely gonna be listed as the "tail light" on the vendor's website, right?

2) I see that there are quite a few LED brake/tail/signal light replacement fixtures on the web. I'm not interested in spending $300-$400 on an entire fixture, but I would prefer to buy an LED bulb instead of the standard incandescent. Unfortunately, I keep reading warning messages about error codes and load capacitors on the vendors' websites, and can't figure out if that's a problem with B7 or not. Is it?

What do you geniuses know about this? Any bulbs you've tried and are satisfied with? I should say in advance that I'm not the least bit interested in trying to make my car look sportier or more bad ***; just want a reliable and functional replacement lamp that I won't have to change ever again. As long as I'm changing what I believe to be the tail light, I'll probably buy and change new brake/signal lights, too.

Many thanks in advance!
