Spoiler LED replacement

[Bluemobile]

Is it possible to replace burned out LEDs in the rear spoiler stop light? I took the light out and it looks to be sealed permanently. Has anyone tried to heat it up and remove the lens?

Nope you can not replace the LEDs or get a "new" one, just used.

im about to try that out myself... not to replace burnt out LEDs but because im gonna put new red superflux in and also put some white superflux in there so it can function as a backup light as well

can you just solder new ones in?

Its a discontinued part. You cannot buy them anywhere, not at the dealer, Pep Boys, Rock Auto, nowhere.

You can buy the spoiler and/or LED lights from the junkyard though.

Maybe SHOSource can work on trying to get an replacement?

I personally would like clear housing with red LEDs.

actually last night i got one pulled apart.

i used a knife blade and slowly worked it in and around the lens.
just wait for light cracking noise which is the glue.

i found out the leds are the 4 pin square leds
the resistor is built into the wire

i didn't mean a BRAND new one. i guess i should be crystal clear about things.

im actually working on that personally.
im not gonna go off and have someone make a clear lens from a mold im simply gonna cut out the lens and insert a clear one and plastic weld it in.

my reason tho is because i wanna make the 3rd brake light function as a brake and reverse light.

and the stock LEDs are bright red already.
