OEM spoiler brake light

Alright so here's the situation- The plastic cover on the spoiler is cracked and a couple of the lights are out. I checked my dealer in Denver and they told me the light and plastic cover are not available for sale and that I would have to purchase a completely new spoiler. I spoker with Grubbs and they said the same thing. I find this hard to believe as on the under side of the spoiler there are 3 screws that hold the brake cover light on.

Has anyone had to swap a light out or had a similar problem they have remedied? I find it ludicrous that if a bulb burns out the only fix is to replace the entire spoiler.

Suggestions???

Yeah sounds insane to me too...I'd suggest contacting another dealer's parts department.

A friend of mine with an '05 just had his light housing replaced in the spoiler in Nashville due to two lights out.

I knew there had to be another way- Thanks for the response. It seems everythingG35 is down right now or my computer doesn't like the site. I'll try it in a few and report back in.
