Inspection problems . Need new light for rear lip spoiler
My car didn’t pass inspection because my light on my rear lip spoiler wasn’t working. They said wiring was ok but most likely the Leds were burnt out and that whole lighting piece needed replaced. Anyone know where I can find a aftermarket one or a cheap one.I googled it and didn’t find many results. Don’t want to bother with asking a dealership yet since I know they will charge a arm and a leg. Also would the two lights on the trunk be considered brake lights since they light up when i brake because they said i need 3 brake lights to pass inspections and that would be 4.
thanks
thanks

the high mount brake light needs to work nonetheless to pass inspection, try a junk yard to see if there are any is300 there to scrap off of, if you find on with the lip spoiler like yours, you are gonna need a impact driver for the two phillips that attaches the led brake lamp assembly to the spoiler, if you find one that has it behind the rear window, just take that whole assembly as it should plug right into the spoiler wire

Might be able to find one....
For that light, might have to cough up the money and pay dealership though because most people who sell used parts on the forum won't sell just the light.
You can probably get the whole spoiler from someone on the forum for +/- $100, take out the light then sell the spoiler for $50 or whatever to make most of your money back...

Pay $100, get the spoiler..
Take out the light...
Re-sell the spoiler for like $50-$75 **as is with broken light.**
***** Be honest and make it clear and obvious that the light needs to be replaced *****

i believe after 01, if the car came with the optional spoiler, they would removed the high mount behind the rear window because of the high mount attachment on the spoiler. but after 03, i believe all of them came with the spoiler as a standard thing, i have yet to see an 04/05 is300 without a spoiler(stock wise)
this should help

you don't need the whole spoiler assembly, ^ as i have and others have posted, you only need the middle section, and just go to a junk yard or ebay for it. Yeah the headlights are rape at a dealership especially since the factory hid ballast are built into the headlight. don't bother, either go aftermarket or jdm headlamps and get aftermarket hids especially when you're height level sensors or you're autolevel sensor goes, you'll be crying and paying an arm and leg for those sensors if you're willing to pay for it just for the autoleveling hid headlamps.
so if the autoleveling goes bad you replace the whole headlight assembly or that located somewhere else. ECU? I will get in touch with some junkyards and ebay. thanks
