Default You want how much for a break light!?!

After the unpleasantness with my car this morn I thought I'd do something positive.

For a while the rear break light in my spoiler (the LED looking one) has been busted. Called Subi today & got a quote of $600 bucks! He was pretty clear about it just being the globe not the whole spoiler.

Anyone know if there's an "aftermarket" solution, or a good place to source factory parts?

led spoiler lights have always been expensive on any make of vehicle... i know this as i work in a spare parts dept. if you have a soldering iron, i can't see why you couldn't replace the leds that have failed. the lights are normally a two piece housing that are clipped together pretty well, so seperating the housing could be tricky, but can be done.
