Default Need help from someone with factory spoiler

Can someone who has a functioning rear spoiler light(factory spoiler) remove their trunk lid liner and take a picture of the wiring on the left side? Would be very appreciated!

I will try to remember to do it tomorrow... dark now so it would never show... boat motors and outdrives are strewn across the garage, so the car isn't going in there tonight lol

feel free to PM tomorrow as a reminder if nobody else chimes in sooner

What specifically are you looking to see? Colors? Routing? where they tie in?

My spoiler is now removed, but the wiring is there

I need to know if something is missing in this picture:

This is my wiring for what I believe is the spoiler wiring. It almost looks like there was a connector that fell off, because I have bare wires that don't seem to go anywhere. When I first removed the trunk lid liner, I remember I heard a rattling noise from the trunk lid that eventually went away after shaking it a good amount, I think whatever it was inside it finally got stuck somewhere.

I'm trying to replace my spoiler light because it doesn't work, but I'm thinking maybe this is my problem and not the LEDs themselves.

Mine are not red/orange.... mine were white with black stripe, and green with yellow stripe

aftermarket installation I presume? anyway....

Looks like the leads that are spliced in there should be connected to the leads in your hand... if LED's, you'll have to get polarity right, or they won't light (If you get it backwards)....

The leads that are spliced are connected to the wiring for the factory spoiler, and that white connector would connect to the end feeding the spoiler.

EDIT: Wow thank you so much! Yes it apparently was a crappy aftermarket job, I got it hooked back up to where it belongs and it works! All LEDs are functional.

Thanks again for the help, very glad I got this resolved.
