New owner with small issue

I recently purchased an 05' g35 coupe 5at. A few lights in my spoilers brake light seem to be out. Ive searched the forum and didnt find anything as what is needed to replace them. If anyone could give me an idea id greatly appreciate it!!

Shouldn't it be like a standard setup? where you look under the spoiler, should be a screw or two that you undo then pop out the lens and change the bulbs?

then they must be leds, perhaps they are soldered into the circuit board itself and you may need to re-solder new ones? Not too sure though as my car came oem without a spoiler. I just have the 3rd brake light in my back window.

Gary.
I thought it'd be more of a dim-lit candle for me than an actual light bulb

had a similar problem.
the spoiler brake light lens was cracked. I had to replace the entire lens including the bulbs . it was a sealed unit , the bulbs were not replaceable. mine was an aftermarket spoiler so i'm not sure if it will be the same for you.
Good luck
Bill

My spoiler seems OEM but the bulbs defiantly don't look replaceable. If thats the case ill just wait till i can find someone who's willing to trade me for a non-spoiler trunk! Thanks bill
