You can remove it with a bent phillps screw driver, and you have to go at it on an angle. Now to find a replacement, thats the problem I am currently having. I have called a few dealers and they have told me a couple of hundred dollars. Any one have any ideas?

I was in the same boat. It was $140 for a new spoiler from Eribuni, $190 or so for a new light from nissan so i bought the spoiler thinking i could take the LEDs out then sell the spoiler with the broken light. well of course both of the LED lights are different so i just stopped messing around and bought a new light. What a waste of money. I should have just fixed the old one. The real funny part is the clear LEDs you can buy and mod to fit are the same shape as whats in erebunis spoiler. Oh well.

If you go here (clicky) and search around, they have replacement LED units for all kind of spoilers, including clear housings with red LED's.

with a soldering gun and a new red led, you could fix that up in about 1-2 hours... no big task... pretty simple...

plus a red led is like 50 cents?
