I just recently bought a used spoiler and I am now trying to install it. When I tested the lights, a few of the LEDs were out. I was wondering if anyone knows how to open it up and fix the LEDs. Also, I read the diy on how to install, but am still a little confused. I see the notch in my trunk to drill, but my spoiler has a bolt and a screw on each side. Do I need to drill holes for both? or do i just screw the screw all the way in and just use the bolt?

My car used just 3 10mm bolts from the factory for my EX spoiler.
I just recently put on my SE Coupe spoiler which had studs in front, but when I got it at the JY the previous owner filed them down flat.
It'll be fine with just 3 bolts.

They did a Dupont 2 stage base/clear paint job on it. Everyone else wanted at least 150 to do the same work. Took them less than 3 days to do it as well. Dropped it off Thursday afternoon, got it back Monday afternoon.

Not sure anyone answered his questions.
1. The LED bar is glued together and it is not possible to open it up to my knowledge without cutting through the plastic etc and making a mess. You could cut it open and fix the lights but its going to be easier to just find a spoiler with a LED bar that worked and grab it from a junk yard.
2. Installing the spoiler is tricky. There are two "bolts" on each end of the spoiler but only one location hole to drill on the underside of the trunk. Most will drill the one hole and cut the other bolt off the spoiler. To my knowledge one bolt goes through the trunk and gets a nut and the other bolt doesn't reach all the way through the two layers of metal and is just a guide bolt. There's also the middle hole which has no hole and you must figure out where to drill, the same goes for the wires and their access hole.
Even the below DIY doesn't mention that each side of the spoiler has 2 bolts.
