check your wiring. Unlikely that all your LED's went out at once. make sure the wires are connected properly and that the connections are not corroded.

the LED's can go out all at once if there is rust in the fuses. I recently had this problem and took the light out and wired it differently. It turned out that half of the leds were still working, but i decided to buy a led strip and put in in. saved some bucks. hope this helpd even though Im 4 years late lol

take out the little plastick bolts on the trunk lid inside the trunk and you will see the wire run straight through. I actually disconnected the wire and took out the whole spoiler to make things easier ( there are 2 screws holding up the spoiler). I then removed the light used a knife to get the glue out so i could take it apart and eventually used a battery to see if the light worked at all( you have to connect 2 wires to a different fuse) Like half worked so I bought the led strip at my local pep boys and instaled glued it on a piece of plastic that I shaped to look like the old led light. Screwed it in the light and..... saved 200 bucks.

thanks for the tips. with the risk of sounding totally stupid, that spoiler LED is part of the brake lights?
