Question:

I have this light as an exterior porch light. One side has pulled off, just need a slightly bigger screw. How can I take this apart without breaking it or damaging my trailer?

Inserting a flathead screwdriver in those cutouts and applying pressure should allow you to pop off the cover of the light. From there you will be able to see the mounting holes and replace the screw. If this is an Optronics Opti-Brite like # ILL70CBSBAWN the mounting hole diameter is 3/16".
