How To Remove Trailer Taillight that is Recessed Mounted in a Grommet
Question:
How do you take the old light out? My light is mounted in a hole with rubber seal just like your part # 435800. Do you have to cut the rubber or is there an easier way Im overlooking?

Expert Reply:
Our installer here will spray the light with some lubricant around where the light meets the grommet and then will use a screwdriver to pry the light out first, and then the grommet.
If you check out the install video I attached you will see this done.

Where is the video? I used to install these all the time on log trucks but that was 40 years ago. They are an excellent light, very reliable before LEDs and I am working on an old trailer.
