2004 accord spoiler brake light replacement
I just noticed that three of the bulbs in my spoiler brake light are out and i cannot seem to find much online regarding its replacement. I assume that the entire light needs to be replaced but cannot find many places online that sell them either. I have got to be missing something. Can someone lead me in the right direction as to where I can get another light or will my Honda dealer have this part and if I will not get ripped off getting it from them.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I would call the dealership to find out what they would charge for the part. Try to get the part number too.
The spoiler is an accessory, so the components are not listed in the part sites I look up OEM numbers.

The rear spoiler brake light should be LEDs, which normally have a much longer life when compared to incandescent bulbs. You may want to check the wires or test to make sure it really needs replacement.
Conduct a visual check of the wiring harness and connections first. The spoiler wire harness runs from the vehicle wire harness (near where the high mount brake light connector was) into the left side of the trunk lid (refer the image in Step 21 and Step 23 and others in this installation instructions).

If you have a multimeter, disconnect the 2-P connector (refer to image in Step 21) and test for power on the vehicle harness (not the spoiler harness side). You can have someone step on the brake pedal or place something on the brake pedal, while you check for power to that 2-P connector.
To test the LED spoiler side of the harness, with a multimeter, switch the multimeter to the diode symbol (the multimeter will show OL or OPEN). You can test at spoiler side of the 2-P connector and/or where it goes into the trunk lid (image at Step 27). Connect the multimeter red lead to the Wht/Blk wire and the multimeter black lead to the Blk wire on the spoiler side harness. For a functional LED, the reading on the multimeter should change from OL or OPEN to some value. If it doesn't it can be a problem with the spoiler wire harness or LED.
