what you need to do is change the lights in your spoilet right ?
the bulbs inside the spoiler no longer work ?

open your boot. at the top of the rear window, theres a piece of plastic trim
PULL it off.. dont be scared. it wont break.

you will need a 10mm spanner which is this thing

or better yet, a ratchet with a 10mm socket

there are 4 bolts you need to undo that holds your wing down..
undo those and you can unplug the wiring to the wing

pull off the spoiler and unscrew the screws on the spoiler to open it up
do this with your pretty phillips head screw driver

take the panel of lights off, pull the light bulbs off, take these to autobarn where you can buy some more... replace ALL the bulbs so they all have the same brightness/colour
