Rear Back Up Light Bulb Needs Replacing

[Lewis96]

Hello and thanks in advance for your help. My wife and I are getting ready for our trip out west for 4 to 6 weeks and in the process noticed the rear drivers side back up light is burn out. We have a 2010 FR Lexington, GTS. Well after looking the problem over I know I can see the bulb from the outside but do not see any way to remove it without removing the black weather seal. Looking from the underside they have it covered by a stapled box and as you can see spray foamed all around it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated and I'm holding off to see how others have handle this problem.

Thanks,
Steve

The lens is held in by the seal. You'll need a small thin blade screw driver, or a kitchen knife with a rounded tip. Just insert it into the rubber seal and you can insert it under the lens. Just work it out .
Easier to re-insert it if you give the seal a quick squirt with some silicone spray, or even a bit of soapy water around the seal.

Wrong before...looks like a sealed light

Lewis, if the lens dosen't come off, it may be a sealed LED light, in which case the light has to be replaced. No way to repair it. If lens does come off, than it's probably a regular bulb.

You are correct it is a sealed light. Monday off to my local RV dealer, who sells FR and see which arm or leg they get.

Thanks all

Just google up 4 inch backup lighting (actually 4 5/16 inch)
Bunch of sites come up, including Amazon.
Check Bargman Lighting, Peterson Lighting. They carry mucho mucho styles, including the round back up lights.

We had the same issue driving at night with the rear brake/ turn signal. Stopped at O'reilys and they had it in stock. Fixed quickly and back on the road

Our back up light was a bulb in a sealed unit. Couldn't find one locally but ordered one from etrailer.com. Works perfectly.
