The rear spoiler of my 1997 Nissan Maxima wasn't bolted down and it was broke off (long story) today. It had 2 wires (red/black) for the brake light. Can I put this back myself? I don't know much about cars but it looks like a fairly easy job. Any thoughts, suggestions, and advice would be MUCH appreciated!!!!

Yes, bare the wires, connect, tape. Lasting, watertight sealing is ensured with self vulcanizing rubber tape on top of electrical tape.
General: The only way to harm/kill uself with a car +12V system, is to accidentally swallow the battery... Even in most cases of possible wrong connection, only fuse will blow. Check link below, Seek for Edu sites like:

Except for burning. My grandfather managed to get his metal watch band across ground and the lead to the battery at the starter once. Melted it on his wrist (not that anything like that will happen working on the brake light).
