Aftermarket taillight circuit boards

Just wondering if anyone has tried aftermarket circuit boards for the LED taillight failures. I have found some Youtube videos with links to Amazon. Seems easier than the soldering method.

I simply re-soldered mine a few years ago, which was easier, quicker and cheaper than replaced them.

I had a bad driver on my left inboard fixture. I bought a set of 4, but I've only installed one. This is the vendor I used, but the board designs are all similar. https://www.ebay.com/itm/22296114491...53.m1438.l2649
Brightness is as original. New design should not suffer the same issues as the original.
