Spoiler leds

sorry if this is a repost

There is about 4 leds that are out in my spoiler. Have any of you replaced the leds or do you just have to replace the whole led light bar? If anyone has any knowledge about this i'd greatly appreciate it if you could help me out.

led dont burn out ( during normal use)... so prolly bad connections / corrosion can you get inside and check that out?

otherwise the red sharpie sounds good :P

LEDS can burn out overtime... look at the LED tails on some heavy trucks, alot of times you'll see a couple LEDs out, or even on traffic lights. They are basically "defective" LEDS.

That light assembly is sealed up pretty well, and kind of hard to break apart without actually "breaking" it. Plus once you got it open and changed the LEDs, they probably wouldnt match the brightness of the others and would still look funky.

I suggest replacing the whole unit, but they are expensive as hell new, I think in the ballpark of $150 from the dealer.
