Hi all, I just purchased a 01 TJ. The stop LED's in the spoiler have stoped working. There is power to the LED's but no light. Is it possible (I dont think so) for LED's to blow. Help needed, replys appreciated.

LEDs do die. They are normally in parallel which means if none are lighting up then they are
all dead. Depends on how they are fitted, may be able to plug in replacement LEDs or
replace the whole unit.

Nope, they are in series parallel :)
Ie. in groups of 5 or 6 in series (usually - assume a voltage drop of roughly 2v per LED, so lowest voltage is 10V before they stop working) in parallel.
Highly unusual that every series string has a blown LED - not completely unheard of though. I would be looking for chafing/broken connections.
Some LED arrays you can open, others are sealed. Good luck :)
