[Shotimes] Spoiler Brake Light, LEDs

[Johnsho92]

Agreed, but how can one even attempt in replacing the
LED if one can't get the casing to open? :)

That's the question here...   in the Shotimes FAQ they
suggest replacing the whole circuit and rigging one
up, custom, but still, you would need to open the
existing casing.   

Thanks for the help!  :)
