Could try a decent breakers or can it be removed , split open and a new set of decent LEDs installed? Try Subaru too but may be costly.

Its not my car
It's a replica wing so doubt that Subaru has got the lights. No breakers in Norway has got much parts for the gc8.

Completely gone?

More likely a wiring fault then.

Sadly, it's a red lens; not a OEM white one.

I think Mil Sport (no longer around) used to stock this item.

He also does an 11.5" one -- check out his descriptions/pics/diagrams and cross reference with your own measurements, etc.

Sadly, you may also have to contend with UK duty, VAT and carrier fees (but needs must and all that)...

In that they don't fit?

Or do fit, but not the same shape (and colour)?

That's annoying. Running out of ideas now.

Seriously, it's unlikely the light will go all at once.

It's either wiring related, or it's been damaged.

Yes, but your first pic on the OP showed one in place and said:

Broken..... not missing?

Right.
Now it APPEARS to be a genuine spoiler, so dealers should be able to supply?

Failing that, look at how it fits, take some sizes and either ebay, or one of the aftermarket spoiler suppliers may sell you one that fits.
