Have a ShorLand'r trailer with sealed running lights. Trailer is new to me. Have one orange running light out. Can't get to it from the back. Do I have to "pop" out the lens? If so won't this break the seal? Thanks. Dave

I hope your not backing that far in.The orange light should be near the front or if trailer is over a certain length in the middle also.Should not be any beyond the center of trailer.The lens should pop off. Look for a slotted sec on the edge of the lens where it meets the bracket.( backing plate)

Some of the newer lights are completely sealed and non-repairable and usually have a universal plug in harness. I got replacement ones at a auto supply store for under 5 bux and just replaced the whole thing, taking all of 5 minutes. If you do that, be sure to use some dielectric grease on the plug to keep the water out.
