I know this video is a couple years old, but I thought I would comment this for anyone looking at this video in 2023 like I am. There is a factory plug in for the spoiler light on the wiring harness of every model corolla (verified on my 2010 CE). There is a white clip that you can see the bottom of through the second layer of the trunk lid by the far right side cut out for wiring. if you twist that clip out, it reveals the factory plug. there is no need to cut into/splice other break light lines to power the spoiler! great video though! this was very helpful for me to get mine installed!

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s honestly a great find! If I would have known about that, it would have made the installation much better!

[@handsomeharold5726]

@@BrandonStellmach i honestly only noticed it because my roommate who was with me said to check. I assumed it wouldnt sense there were multiple diffrent wiring harnesses for the 10th gens, so no reason for the CE to have it, but low and behold! Very glad I found this out before I put mine on. Didnt see anything about this online anywhere

[@fredito3259]

​@@handsomeharold5726: hi can you please guide me to the right spot , I'm planning to install the spoiler, what wiring harness do you mean the one in the trunk? can you take some pictures if you don't mind. Thank you

[@handsomeharold5726]

im so sorry I didnt see your comment until now. if you still need it I can go take a picture for you! Its just behind the liner in the trunk lid and is held out of view by a clip on the right hand side. if you feel around for it in the openings there you should be able to find it!@@fredito3259

[@plyrolly9683]

I bought this and love the way it looks, when installing I dropped the bolt inside the frame of the trunk and it was a pain to get out

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s awesome! I love the way mine looks too! And I was worried about that happening to me. Luckily I never dropped anything. But I bet it was a pain to get it out!

[@ralvolvi7668]

hey i was wondering if its okay that I just keep the 3rd brakelight disconnected from the rest of the car? I don't know if the 3rd brakelight that is already there would be covered up and if it is do you know if it would cause any issues on the road for other drivers? Sorry I don't know anyone else to ask

[@BrandonStellmach]

I had thoughts about disconnecting my 3rd brake light as well. If you disconnect it, you should be good!

[@MC-ExcaliburProject]

why can't you use t-taps to tap into the break light? I have a reverse camera that activates when I put the car in reverse and it gets power from the rear break light.

[@BrandonStellmach]

I believe I mentioned it in the video, yes you can tap into the ones behind the tail lights, but I have heard of some others having issues with the brake lights have some time of weird flicker when braking!

Hello chief. After the installation of the wing, apart from the looks.. what and how was the performance and stability on the road.. Did you find any difference.?

[@BrandonStellmach]

To be honest I only got it for the looks, I mean I didn’t drive the car to much before I put the wing on, but I can say when I’m doing 80MPH on the highway I feel good. So it probably functions good. 👍

I have my company fitted one which looks ok just like others in my 2010 corolla altis sports 1.8 ,but I hate the sports kit which comes with it....

How did you know where to aline the spoiler on the trunk

I just eye balled it and got it as centered as I could, and just took a few measurements with a tape measure, to make sure I was close.

[@poptheone9754]

i don't see the color codes when im trying to purchase the spoiler..

[@BrandonStellmach]

When you purchase the spoiler there should be a place to type a note and you will tell them the color code and color you want. And if you don’t see a place to type it, just send them a message right after your purchase it to tell them the color you want.

Can you do a video on how you removed the panel the third brake light is on? I have the same spoiler and the front part of the back seats pulled out, but I can't figure out how to get that panel off, I think I'm going to break something.

[@BrandonStellmach]

I will see what I can do, but when I did it I felt like I was going to break the clips too, you just need to start with the side panels, and after you pop them off the rear panel should come off. Here is a video that I feel shows a good way to remove that panel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5eci3qvl9tqrLc

@@BrandonStellmach Thanks man appreciate the reply, I was able to figure it out, just nervewracking. Thanks again!

[@TheLakers808]

So if I buy a 2009 Corolla I can put 2012-2013 parts on a 09 Corolla ?. Like spoiler , the front bumper lip kit ?. Etc ?.

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yes mostly everything is compatible. If you swap out the front number you will need to swap out the headlights as well. And if you swap out the rear number you will need to swap out the trunk lid and the tail lights. Because they have a small difference in them.

[@eduarmilla3996]

Brandon! About the wiring part you just connected the 2 black ones (spoiler and 3rd brake light) to the black one with the car and same process with the red wires?

[@eduarmilla3996]

Also, what’s the size of the wires the spoiler ones and the car 3rd break light wires?

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yes that is what I did. Just match up positive and negative to each other. And I’m not exactly sure the wire size. I’m going to assume it was 18g. It is pretty small wire size.

Sounds good! Thank you for your help Brandon. I’ll try to install my spoiler tomorrow following your steps.

Mine came with one already, and now I'm trying to upgrade to the Mugen Style Spoiler. That OEM hole scared me. Feel like it will leak water in at least there is only 1 hole on each side.

[@BrandonStellmach]

Well I hope everything goes good! I’m surprised that they don’t use very similar mounting holes that the corolla uses. But if it doesn’t I would just try to fill it in with some silicon so it doesn’t leak!

[@tkquanboyles7873]

Have you put the mugen spoiler on yet? Literally about to go do it right now but have no clue what length my screws have to be or even how to remove stock spoiler

[@owendougan20]

@@BrandonStellmach Thanks man I appreciate it I just had like 2 more questions. Did you have to change your trunk torque bars in order to support the added weight. And when you drive on the highway or fast speeds do you hear whistling or any sound coming from the spoiler? I heard that can happen sometimes. I’m trying to do this to my car so any tips and advice would be really appreciated 🙏

[@BrandonStellmach]

I did not change the torsion bar in the trunk, but I also don’t have an electronic trunk release, I only have the release on the floor of the car. And when I release it the trunk does not pop up. I still have to push the trunk open when I unlock it. The spoiler did add extra weight. But It will stay up if you push it all the way back. And I have been driving with it for a little over a week and I have not heard any whistling noise or any other sound from the spoiler.

[@hajielhadj4572]

Why can't you use a glue

[@BrandonStellmach]

I don’t think any glue would be strong enough to hold it on the trunk. Maybe if you used some type of epoxy it might work. But at that point you are going to destroy your trunk if you do that. And you mine as well drill holes and get a strong hold on the spoiler.

What do u mean

[@callmebackfriday2]

Just wonder. Would that be much brighter and safer due to extra light from the original position or actually the original light will be block by the new spoiler. Brandon, if you have to re-do again, would you unplugged the original third brake light? Does the original Corolla "S" type has unplugged the window third light since it has the spoiler.

Thanks for the video. Does this third party spoiler looks exactly like the OEM? I actually was shopping in junkyard and auction site for a "used" OEM spoiler; however, so far no luck because most of the time, they selling with the trunk together. Can anyone here confirm this is has the same look as the OEM / Genuine Toyota Corolla "S" type style? Thanks in advance.

[@BrandonStellmach]

To be honest, I have never seen the OEM “S” spoiler in person. But from pictures and videos this is very close to the same style. And for the price, I don’t think anyone can complain about it! I believe I bought mine painted for about $120.

@@callmebackfriday2 yeah that’s what I was worried about too! But just make sure this is the style of spoiler you want. Because the holes are going to be specific for that spoiler. And when you know it’s the spoiler you plan to keep forever, than you shouldn’t have to worry about it because it’s another permanent feature on the car. And just make sure to watertight it. And you won’t have to worry about it again!

The spoiler you got is now selling for $179.99 plus tax but there are others brand but I believed this is the most popular. I will stay with what you installed. I am so glad I found your channel. 😜

It’s pretty straight forward, the only hard part that I didn’t show on camera was trying to take apart all the trim in the back to get to the light. Once you find the 3rd brake light wires, you will just put the wires together with the wire taps and you should be all good to go.
