Replacing light bulb for spoiler
Short answer: Not do able. You have to replace the entire thing.
Long answer: The lights in the spoiler LEDs. Inside the bar, there are 4 "blocks" or rows of 3 LEDs each. If you unscrew the brake light from below, and take it apart, you can try and repair it that way. Otherwise, a brand new one would be easier.

Update.....finally was able to replace the led light. I found the part on ebay. The dealer wanted $200 to replace. Got it for $40 and cost around $60 to install it.

Car washing should not be an issue. The LED light bar is supposed to be waterproof for years. I also doubt Nissan wants us to keep our cars dirty for months on end, especially in states that salt roads for snow.
Unless you're constantly blasting high pressure water at the light for days on end at the seals, I don't think it should fail.
What year is your car, how is the carwash washing your car?
Did all the LEDs fail or was it just one?
Any previous damage? Is the spoiler aftermarket?
I assume the LED brake lights failed from water damage, based your the car wash comment:

2010 SV with original spoiler. All LEDS failed. When it was removed you can see condensation.
I'll start inspecting mine occasionally and take preventive measures if there is any condensation.
Side note: I have had the led turn signals in the mirror housings replaced about 3 times on both sides already. If you have turn signals in your mirror housings, check them occasionally.

Thanks, I suppose the quality of the seal was not has robust as I had originally thought.
