Default 3rd Brake Light 2000 Firehawk

The 3rd (center) brake light on my spoiler is out..I have the rare spoiler that was put on 2000 Firehawks specifically...how do I get at this lightbulb before I go taking things apart? Help is appreciated! Thanks! Someone told me the spoiler has to come off, but that sounds ridiculous for just a bulb! HELP!

Good 'ol lumpy!! I wish I had that rare piece!! I assume it has no screws visible? That would be crazy if you had to take it off to change the bulb!! I'm interested to hear what others say!

As far as I know that spoiler was ONLY put on 125 Firehawks in 2000 and that's it...so only 125 cars in existance have it...also some other information...the spoiler has to come off to get at the burnt out LED board...now the problem is finding a replacement...

I too am interested in hearing what others have to say. My light is not out yet, but I know I'll have to deal with this eventually...

https://www.salvagedmotorsports.com/...d-brake-light/ the shape is right. C5 corvette would make sense considering the availability of a 2000 MY. No external fasteners so the spoiler is definitely coming off to remove the light.
