A few days ago my LED's in the spoiler were all out except for three or four on both ends which were flickering a little. Yesterday all of them went out and I checked the wiring and all, can't figure it out. Has anyone had this problem before? Am I gonna have 2 buy the replacement LED strip? If so, where's the cheapest place to get it? Thanks

About half of my LED's went out a while back. Someone turned me on to this website so I removed mine last weekend to check dimensions and this one is the closest I could find. I don't know if there are any cheaper places.

I haven't ordered it yet, I'm about to drop bundle on a leather upolstery kit, so it may be a while. If you get it, let me know how it works out.

dont know if yours is different

but check how many screw tab things you have... I had mine off this past weekend to fill it with insulation to stop the rattling, and mine only had 3 screw things to hold it on........? thats different from the link below

Yeah, mine only has two screws holding the LED cluster in. AFAIK, it's the factory or dealer-installed spoiler.

How do u get the LED bar out? I tried prying on it a little and it seems there is some double sided tape or some kinda glue holding it in. There are no screws on mine. My car is a GLE and it came with the spoiler on it, so I don't know where it's from. Any suggestions?

On mine, the screws holding the LED in are on the underside of the spoiler. You can see them, but you can't get them out without removing the spoiler, PITA.

that's not hard...that must be what those 2 holes are in the bottom of the spoiler. Thanks sinewave. I gotta check this out tomorrow. Does anyone know if mine might be a factory spoiler or what? I doubt it, but it's worth a try..
Thanks
