It's normally LED which you will need to replace the whole light unit, easy job to do

You'll have to find out from the manufaacturer of the spoiler. Being a carbon fibre version, it won't be genuine Subaru, so its going to be a different size to OE one.

Have all the LEDS stopped working? Or just a few?

It's VERY rare for even one to go, but all of them?

Try the manufacturer, as above.
Failing that, I've seen threads on here where people have replaced single LEDs. Depends how badly you want it perfect

Milsport used to do non-genuine "red" LED replacement light strips (inc. all wiring/screws, etc.) to fit the STi 5/6 spoilers (whether they be OEM or reps.). But I don't think they do them anymore, though.

Instead, what about ringing ScoobyWorld? I know they sell rep. STi 5/6 spoilers with this same red strip LED mentioned above -- so they might be able to flog you just the LED on its own(?)

Also, what about a Subaru dealer? After all, the wing was std on the STi 5/6. But I expect it'll be effin' extortionate for an OEM clear LED strip!!!

So is/does mine.


Oh yeah, the OEM clear one still shines red (red LEDs) - as it must. Obviously.

But the cheap replacement's actual lenses are red (with 'white' LEDs).
