Default My 1997 Volvo 850 T-5 Turbo Sedan has no third brake light?

Hello again. So I noticed my 1997 Volvo 850 Turbo doesn't have a third brake light and I don't see any wiring that connects for a third brake light. Also I noticed on many Turbo 850 Sedans they have trunk spoilers. Well mine doesn't and in the trunk on the left there's some wires cut.

I'm assuming it had a spoiler but was removed and that spoiler had the third brake light? Am I right? On the trunk I don't see any holes or spots to place a spoiler? Was it held on by tape?

If I do need a spoiler where can I find one? Prefer either black or green? Any help? Thanks!

Chances are, there was a light on the trunk with a spoiler but it was replaced with a trunk that didn't have a spoiler.

I may be able to help you find a rear spoiler, that may be the cut wires. Test them with a ohm meter for power.

I will go more in depth with some picture and I will test the wires with an Ohm meter! Thanks for the help/advice!
