Expert Reply:

There are a wide variety of trailer lights offered and these come with different type of construction. Some lights may not be user-serviceable (such as some LED types and sealed waterproof lights) but usually trailer lights that use standard incandescent bulbs have either a removable lens that either snaps into place or that is held in by screws. Examples of such lights are # ST51RB and # 432200.

You can use the link provided to see all trailer tail lights offered. You can use the filters at the left-hand margin to narrow the results based on the shape, color, bulb type and mounting type of your light.

If you can submit a photo along with a description and any reference numbers that appear on the product I will be glad to try to find a correct replacement.
