Assuming the light is just burnt out and not physically busted, you may want to attempt this fix. I took mine apart and the resistor on the LED side was fried and completly gone. The resistors from Radio Shack are 4 @ $1.00. Just be sure to seal the unit back up well to prevent moisture from getting inside. It works great now and I still have $150 in my pocket.

Go to Maxima.org / Shop Talk / Care and Feeding / Spoiler LED replacment.

stock is 15.5" long iirc and has 3 mounting tabs. the ones with 4 mounting tabs will work in a pinch with minor mods.

its hard to say since they dont list lengths. most of the time you cant find one that fits perfect. the OEM one is about $180 but thats redic.

this site however has the measurements
http://www.spoilerlights.com/automak...n.shtml#maxima

i got one from electrodyne, http://www.electrodyne.cc/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?
i bought the clear 15.5" 4 tab one and cut the 2 inner tabs off and screwed the light in with new screws and made new holes. its off by a very small amount.

id dont want to tell you to buy the 3 tab one and it ends up not fitting. so take some measurements 1st.

also, is yours not working at all? if it is, it may be the resistor. thats a $1 fix and about an hours worth of work. if you are handy with electronics you should give it a shot.
