STI 6 Rear Spoiler Brake Light Replacement
 
Hello, I Have A Carbon Fibre STI 6 Rear Spoiler And The Bulbs Seem To Have Gone In The Brake Light.. Do I Need Bulbs? Or A Whole New Brake Light?

And Where Can I Get Them From... Its Bugging Me That Much I Have Disconnected the Brake Light Itself

Thanks

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

Okay mate do you know where I can get them from?

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? :confused:

Just a few have like 3 or 4 its annoying lol... I'm a perfectoinist!

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!!!

Mine is a genuine one and is clear, but shows red.

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). ;)
