I am replacing my Mfi trailer lights with leds and I came across this light. I can think of no tool that I can use to pry this open and replace with led bar. Any suggestions on this ? Thanks.
To replace the complete unit you will have to drill out the rivets. If you are just wanting to change the bulbs to leds, then with flat blade screw driver gently pry the plastic cover off.
If it's not LED already, it's pretty easy (and cheap) to replace the entire 3 light strip in one go with just a little wiring. I wouldn't bother with just replacing each individual light.
Just get a drill bit and drill the rivet head off, that's the easiest way. Doesn't have to be any certain size, a decent size one is ok you are just drilling the rivet head you don't have to go all the way through the hole.
You could pry it off but it's going to bend everything and scratch your trailer and be a pain....
This is easy peasy. Just get a drill bit as big as the rivet head. Go slow and drill just the head off. Repeat on all. I bought the LED replacement at Northern Tool as well as a cheap rivet gun that came with rivets. It took about 20 minutes to do. I bought connectors and shrink tubing to shrink on the connectors.
