[QUOTE="Chocolate Cow2, post: 1517199, member: 32644"] I'm not Caustic but I just replaced a bunch of lights on my aluminum trailer. You'll need a drill with a good bit, replacement lights, just like or close to the ones currently on your trailer, rivets and rivet gun. Make sure your bit is just a tiny bit bigger than the rivets you're going to drill out. With a step ladder, drill in hand, remove the cover from your first light. Mite need a flat screw driver to help remove the lens. There will be two rivets. One of those rivets is your ground. Drill each rivet out and your old light will come loose. You'll see the wiring. I think there is just one wire. That wire and the wire on your light will need to be connected together. I twisted my wires together and wrapped with black electrical tape, then covered the tape with liquid electrical tape. Probably over kill. Line up the new light and replace with new rivets. Back down the ladder and turn on lights to check. I did several a night until I had 'em all. Be careful on the ladder. [/QUOTE]
