Spoiler Brake Light Out?
 
My spoiler brake light doesn't seem to be working.

Anyone know how to replace this? The whole strip is out, not sure if there is a fuse for it?

It's a 2004 coupe and the spoiler came with the car.

Google.

If the light burned out (most likely the case) then the whole fixture will need to be replaced because the 3rd brake light is an LED light.

A helpful guide can be used here: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you...t_infiniti_g35

Good luck!

I have been looking for a while myself and can't find a place to get a replacement.

How the hell do you change the strip though?

And why is the whole thing out?

What you would need to do is:

1. pop the trunk and remove trunk liner
2. remove the bolts for the spoiler from the trunk lid
3. remove wiring harness connector
4. lift the spoiler off the car/trunk lid
5. remove old light fixture and install new fixture (bolt/screws)


The 3rd (or 4th) spoiler brake light are a series of LED lights connected in a series circuit to provide even current throughout the system, yielding sufficient voltage. If you remember from high-school physics, if one light goes out the whole circuit will too.

I'm not too sure if all the LED bulbs would be bad, in which you can just open up the fixture, find and replace the burned out LED, and put it back together... but a new fixture is cheap enough to not want to go through the trouble

Don't jinx yourself! :eek:

I have never had to remove the wing for any reason yet either, but from what I've read online this seems like the appropriate approach

I've heard the spoiler is a pain to take off.. I need to double check, I hope the strip screws off.

I'm guessing this isn't covered under any warranty right?

And I ask because I don't really see any other threads on this...

cpufreak3 06-21-2011 04:58 PM

The new fixture's gonna run me $50+

Might get an 06 spoiler instead...

Why does spoilerlights.com only show 16.5" light but mine measures 14.5? Where else can I get a brake light for an 03 sedan?
