Question:
Hello, I have light bar MC97RB and need to replace a single LED that went out. The video refers to single LED MC95RB to use as replacement. My question is if this is replaceable from the front of the light bar or if I need to remove the light bar from and replace it from the back-side? This light bar was riveted on to my trailer not screwed, so hoping I can replace the LED without removing it from the trailer. I appreciate your support!

Hey Kevin. The Optronics Mini Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light item # MC95RB installs with two mounting screws on the rear of the light. You will need to remove the Identification Light Bar item # MC97RB to access these screws. I attached a picture below so you can see the back of that light bar.
What kind of trailer do you have?

Hi Jerred, Thanks for the reply! I have a trail master boat trailer SR2041BR. I'm not sure if this is an original fixture or if the previous owner installed it. I purchased 2 of the self-tapping screws you guys sell with for these light bars. I'll try to drill out and remove the rivets and use them. Thanks! -Kevin
