Thanks for posting those pictures. If the LEDs are not broken, it might actually be possible to solder them back to the board. A bit fiddly but not impossible and at that price certainly worth a try.
These posts were really helpful, thank you. I’ve removed my spoiler and taken the light out but how on earth do you get the LEDs out of the housing to resolver them (if that’s what the problem is)it looks like it’s sealed into the plastic housing permanently.

If you look at the photo in the post at the top of this page it appears you have to break out the strip at the back of the light.
As this failure is almost certainly due to moisture ingress, resealing it thoroughly when finished is paramount.

Putting it into the oven might help, often these modules are glued together with something heat sensitive.
Fixed it for £20.70 with a new LED sealed strip from Car Builder Solutions and some Sikaflex mastic to seal it and hold it in place. Not quite the same size as original but saved £140 so I’m not worried!
