Default LED blinking

I have the illuminated kick plates in my 2010 Nissan 370Z Touring Roadster. The LEDs blink and tend to not illuminate, my guess is the LED is going. Can I replace just that part or do I have to buy all new illuminated kick plates? Also the passenger side has a dent in it from someones heels. Is that easy to correct?

You can open them up and replace bulb.
I replaced mine with red bulbs.Pic of carbon fiber ones I made.
They do get dented from seat belts getting caught.
Depends how bad dent is.You may be able to massage out.Takes time and patience.

Nice. Thank you. Know if any instructions specifically for opening and changing bulb (I believe the ones here are for installing new ones)
