Default Classic WR spoiler brake light

Hi,

Does anyone know where to buy replacement bulbs for the classic WR spoiler (RB5) brake light? I have a couple gone, is it possible to replace them individually?

Are they not LED's?

If so, it's a SOLDERING JOB AND NOT EASY.

I'm not sure to be honest, I would guess they are, I wont get a chance to look before the weekend.
I was hoping someone might be able to point me to some so I can order them and fit them Saturday. Soldering them isn't a problem

Subaru said the only supplied the complete light but don't have stock I guess as it was a prodrive item?

You're right, that should have read 286X which is 2.3w. The 286 are 1.2w.

Yes there are 8 of them in total
