If it's the standard spoiler, you will find 2 screws on the bottom of the spoiler.

That is weird, I have a 2000MY Passat B5 and its third brake light has LEDs, does this mean that the face-lifted Polo 9N has reverted to having bulbs in its third brake light, I'm sure that my wife's 2002MY Polo 9N has LEDs in its third brake light.

On the legal front, I think that I've read that only one bulb needs to work for the car to pass an MOT - but it will look crap though!

Changing the topic slightly, anyone noticed how many of the first Audis to get DRL are now starting to lose bulbs - once again, "bulbs" - its nearly 2010 WTF?
