Tail light (bulb?) replacement?

I tried to search it but maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing. I noticed my left side tail light is out (see picture). I don't know what to call it, a rear fog light? The brake lights are okay so it would be the bottom light on the outside. Anyways, what bulb would I need to replace it and how would I go about doing the replacement?

That is led, and more than likely you'd have to replace the whole assembly to get them to work again. Before going that route, I'd take the light out and see if anything is unplugged or if the socket assembly is not snapped in all the way.

I was putting things in the trunk and something snapped the light back working. But it faded back out again. Seems like when I push on the panel it tries to light up. I took the tail lamp off to disconnect everything and connect it back .. I seem to be in the same position as before. Should I give it another go? Is there something I can do to make to connection more secure?

Make sure the actual bulb holder is snapped in all 3 places(if I remember right) and check the connections on both the bulb holder and the plug in it.
