Aftermarket spoiler brake light?

All but 5 led's are out on my '05 sedan spoiler 3rd brake light. Dealer price for a new one is more than I'm willing to pay-like $270+.
Are there any quality aftermarket replacements or fixes that anyone knows about?

Are you good with electrical? It's prob a burned out component on the board and can probably be repaired

Yep. Led diodes can be purchased from any computer store. Just solder in!

I can certainly wield a soldering iron. Is it not a sealed clam type lens though? How does one open it and reseal it again?

Apparently not a common problem. I can't find an after market replacement and the screws won't budge to get mine out. Going to purchase a right angled screw driver and try that.
