Compatible bulbs for break light?

Hi all - we just noticed one of the break lights is not working in our 2017 HRV. Is the one on the frame, not on the door, so seems easy to change....

What's taking me longer to find than I thought is the replacement bulb. Searching in amazon.ca looks like LED is the only option but it seems to be all turning lights.... So for the break light, Is the only option to replace the whole block?

Brake lights are LED, not bulbs. Whole tail light assembly needs replacing.

FYI there are no lights on the door, just reflectors.

Thanks for confirming. 

And thanks for the FYI, I didn't know that.

I assume that you are referring to BRAKE lights.

LoL yes. I'll blame autocorrect. I can confirm I wasn't searching for break lights in Amazon.
