Hi,before going to the hassle of removing the brake Led unit from rear wing,does anyone know if the leds are single replacable units or is it one big sealed display that needs full replacement.ive heard both stories,so if its one unit,and as it seems very hard to find replacement units,havent found one yet on net.I wont bother.P.s Factory wing 2002 Kj GTV:hmm:

Mate,
I'm 99.9% sure most mitsi dealers won't have any old stock to sell.
Best thing to do is cahse up a wing on these forums in the FS thread (May need to be repainted), Or finding an auto elec who will do a custom replace job, But mind you it would not be factory.

ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140350579596&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en) i think its the right one with the 4 screw holes but take some measurements to be shore

Here's a lazy tip: How many LEDs are dud on your spoiler strip? If its only one or two, could you blank-off some corresponding ones on the opposite side to "balance" the dud one?

Also - anyone noticed how the butt-ugly modern Toyota Camry's only have about 6-8 LEDs with heaps of space between the LEDs in their rear high-level brake lamps?
Is it just me, or does that look really horrible and cheap-ass? (kinda like the "fix" I am suggesting above, I suppose). However, a "balanced" blank look bulb in a closely-spaced Magna lamp-unit would look heaps better than the Camry unit, I reckon!
