The factory SS spoiler has LED's. I heard you have to replace the entire light, can't just replace the ones that are burned out?? Not sure if that is correct. The Z28 has two regular bulbs.

^^This.

I can't stand seeing cars that have led 3rd brake lights with bulbs out. I have seen multiple Camaros with this issue, and I'm hoping it doesn't happen to mine.

I appreciate it guys. Ya from what I heard you have to replace the whole deal you can't just do the ones that are out. I just couldn't seem to find a definite answer and to be honest never really thought about it until I noticed it needed to be replaced. Appreciate it.
