Aftermarket Spoiler Trouble

[Mytoy4]

Does anyone have any experience with the aftermarket spoilers and the LED lighting?
I don't know what kind it is. It was put on 5 years ago.
The light had always worked fine up until a month or so ago. The connection is all fine but for some reason it won't light up.

Thoughts on how to fix, or if this has to be replaced?
Removing the spoiler is not an option.

I don't know much about it, but I do know it CAN be replaced.

IIRC they're not cheap and you have to buy the whole unit.

I guess it would be best to try to test the connectors with a tester to make sure it's getting power before you buy a new one.

I believe the light is relatively easy to remove with a right angle screwdriver, otherwise I think you need to remove the spoiler to get it off because the screws are on the inside (between the spoiler and the OEM 3rd brake light about the window). There are a couple of writeups around here I've seen in the past.

edit- I actually have a pdf I found here on t4r (a long time ago and saved) but I'm not sure how to share it with you. You do remove two nuts or bolts from the area I described above.

Thanks again, Matt! I'll read through this to see what my options will be.

Here are some common aftermarket spoiler LED lights, check if one matches the model installed in your AM spoiler.
California Dream - LED Lights
It cost $16-$20 4yrs ago.
