Hello...
Does anyone know how to change the rear spoiler lights and where can I get
them? I was told by a parts store that it is a dealer part only, but I
would think parts-train or equivalent would have available.
Thank you...

I beieve those are LED lights are they not? They probably are dealer
only, since you would not be able to replace just the bulbs like on
others, but the entire assembly. The other place might be a working one
from a junkyard where the frontend was trashed and the backend wasn't.
After all, what is a car that is going down the road but a collection of
used parts?

If they are LED's, I doubt that they are burned out. LED's can last 30,000
to 50,000 hours (longer than the car will). Sounds more like a connection
or ground problem.
