Should Whole Light Bar # MCL97RPG be Replaced if One Light is Out
Question:
I have a 2015 Coastline Trailer that has some lights burned out. Rear driver side light, running lights on the back, and one on the side. See pics provided. I figured out the rear brake/turning light. Do I need to buy the MCL97RPG light bar to replace one light or can I purchase the MCL95RB and replace each individual light on the bar as they burn out? Im a little concerned as to how Im going to mount the light/bar if needed because its not attached with bolts/screws but with rivets.

Expert Reply:
Light # MCL95RB would not fit light bar # MCL97RPG because it does not mount appropriately to attach to the light bar base. If it were me I would replace the hole light bar. Since yours is riveted on those rivets will have to be drilled out and replaced with regular screws or bolts and nuts.
All of the 2 x 1 inch lights are stud mount, see link, so keep that in mind when looking for replacements.
