You did the install yourself?? Dayam cool!

I don't have a spoiler but I think you should be able to disconnect the brake light from the subwoofer and connect it to the spoiler.

The install is easy. The drill spots are marked in your trunk lid. Just four holes to mount the spoiler.

You have to remove both harnesses from the rear deck light and extend one of them around the trunk line into the bottom of the rear spoiler. That's how my dealer did it, so you may need to either cut the wires to do it or buy an adapter.

I just spliced the wires going into one of the bulbs into the third brake. just connect your two wires from your spoiler to the two wires going to either brake light bulb. Don't cut the existing wires, just "tap" into them.

Question

how about the rear deck brake light, i want to take of the 2 bulbs in it because the spoiler is already lighting up. i figured if you remove the light bulb the warning light will come on. is there a way i can wire the spoiler light to the rear deck lights so the warning light wont come on?
