Default Center Tail light out

I am looking for advice on replacing my fiance's center tail light (is that how it is reference?) on her 2002 A6 2.7T.

I'm normally posting in the A4 B6 board for my own car, so forgive me if I have the wrong platform here.

That light is a module that is a string of what appears to be about 9 LEDs. Originally one of them was out. When I removed the light and pulled the burned out LED, now 5 of them are out.

Oops!

I assume the easiest thing is to replace the entire thing at this stage. Any tips on where to find one? I wrote the part number down somewhere.....

They tend to go out in bunches. They're cheap, just get 10-12 at the dealer.

Default $0.69 each at Robbins Auto Parts if you're in the Northeast, I'm sure...

that there are similar deals to be had at local stores elsewhere. Bulb is an L70 or simply a 70 incandescent, not LED. Seems like every time I replace one, 3 more burn out after I get the assembly back in place. Next time around I'm going to try LED's from a place like this:<ul><li><a href="http://superlumination.com/74.htm">http://superlumination.com/74.htm</a</li></ul>
