You'll be lucky to find one for less than $80. You probably don't want to know what the dealership charges.

yeah just for a set of plug wires they wanted 99 bucks, i said f that and got taylor wires. try looking on ebay im sure they will have it. or possibly get ahold of a company that sells the spoiler with the light assembly in it and ask for just the light assembly.

Cant you just replace the LEDs? Ive never seen one up close but that would have been the first thing I tried.

Assuming you can get the housing open and find out what type they are, I dont see why not.

that would prolly be more trouble then its worth, but you could give it a shot and see. try and get ahold of LS1_SS he sells LEDs and he could recommend what type of LED thats in the housing.
