Default Spoiler 3rd brake light

Anyone replace this? I have a crack in mine due to a minor mishap and it's unsecured on one side. Lexus doesn't provide a replacement part for this light. You have to buy a whole new spoiler I was told! The regular 3rd brake light (the one that is on cars w/o a spoiler) is a replacement part, but not the spoiler light.

for 90 bucks you can't really go wrong....the whole catch is they have one gold one and one white one.

The $90 spoiler is aftermarket. In any case, I'm just gonna glue it back where the light snapped off the bolt. Turns out that the light harness is behind the spoiler mount and not that easy to get to without taking apart the spoiler. I'm not going to change it out (there is an aftermarket replacement light, but it's not worth the effort to take down the spoiler).
