I have never seen a genuine Tech2 rear spoiler with a brake light fitted. Nothing listed in the ETK either.

If it's a genuine spoiler, then it should have some part numbers visible somewhere. It's a while since I looked, but they could be under the outer ends of the upper spoiler (the bit that hangs over the 1/4 panel).

Mine doesn't have the brake light. Not sure I'd really want one there (although I did fit one to my old Honda Accord coupe, shhhhh!)
