New LED teardrop Clearance Light Removal

[dkottum]

A source of corrosion has been under the exterior clearance lights on many trailers. My new ones are LED fixtures with no visible means to remove them.

How can the lens be removed to get under them to inspect and treat for corrosion?

The lenses clip on the frames, which are then unscrewed from the trailer. Some also have double sided sticky tape holding them on.

I can't wiggle them loose. Where are the clips?

There are two small square clips that connect the lens to the metal frame that is fasten to the trailer skin. You have to pry starting at the small end and work to the large end of the lens to pop the clips from the frame.

So lets say we removed the lights, all of them. Where can I get the new ones with the rubber gasket that protects the rig against further corrosion?
Are the lights that the dealers are selling the ones?

Appreciate any feed back

Amazon sells them. I replaced all my old clearance lights with these. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=airstream...ss_ts-a-p_1_15
