Default Third (brake) LED light fail, any advice?

Hello. New here...any advice appreciated.

The LED-bar serving as a brake light in the rear spoiler on my SRT6 Roadster has failed.
The right half works fine, but the left half does not light up.
Have removed it from the car in one piece, but the LED assembly seems glued together.
Can it be opened without being destroyed?
Does anyone (preferably in Europe, I live in Sweden) repair these?
Or does anyone know where I can get a working one?

Again, any advice is very welcome.
Stephan

Thanks for the tip. I contacted them and they were willing to do it.
But since I live a bit remote the freight costs were depressing...
Found some advice on a German site, and too a deep breath and cut mine open.
Seems it was the same soldering issue as the german guy had, so now it seems to work fine.
Like to German site here, in the post there is a picture showing where he cut it open.

There are two printed circuit boards inside (one right, one left). The left one is provided with voltage and ground via two cables from the right board, where the connector goes.
I re-soldered these two connecting cables and then it worked.
