It's a wire somewhere. You can't burn 30+ led's at one time in the spoiler.

i dont think its the wire in my case. i took the LED light out of the spoiler and put direct battery power to it and still did not light. i really think its the light in my case.

I don't think you can put your LEDs to a 12V battery and see if they work. LEDs are very low-voltage bulbs (some work with under a half a volt), these lights need a power-converter/supply which triggers them. I think that's the problem. I am taking my car to a dealer to see what they tell me.

the led will work if you connect the to the battery those 30 bulbs probably add up to 12 volts
