Ive got an XR spoiler and half of the LED lights are not working. I rang up Ford and they wanted a ridiculous $242 ($136 trade) for it. What other options do I have?

remove the spoiler altogether haha.
Try wreckers, most probably charge the same price though. Failing that, try ebay... i was only thinking the other day do they make these in clear with red leds??

The main effect of a spoiler? To weigh down your boot and kill your struts.
