HI - new here - 2 questions (sidemarker and lip spoiler).....

Greetings!
I have a 2005 Ruby Red TL which is a fantastic car (not news to anyone here I guess), and I've done a couple minor mods to it such as adding 18" Ruff Racing wheels (black web-spoke design with a nice polished lip) and having all the windows tinted.

I have a couple questions: first, the passenger side fender marker light is burned out...how does one replace that? I assume it's of the "push a screwdriver against one side to pop it out" variety, but I really don't want to go for a trial & error approach around all that shiny paint

Second, I like the low-profile lip-type spoilers that I believe were factory or dealer options, and I've noticed them painted on eBay for like $100...questions being, has anyone gotten one of these, and does the paint match decently and is it a good quality paint finish?

Thanks!

No idea about the sidemarker. I thought it was an LED unit. As for the spoiler though go for the one sold by "thespoilerstore". They are highly recommended by Aziners, myself included. The color match was spot on for my car (Alabaster Silver Metallic) and I received it in only 2-3 days.

I think it IS LED, which is why it seems strange to be out at all...

What did your spoiler cost, and how is it attached? I assume 3M tape?

THANKS
