Led strip docking lights not working

My docking lights don't work. I have 12v leaving the switch but I don't know how to access the backside of the lights to check there. The lights look deteriorated so I'd like to replace them but I can't seem to find the lights to buy. Any ideas? I'm adding a picture.

this might be one of those where you are going to have to remove some panels in your search.

I removed the shoe rack in the closet and gained access. I have 13.2v going to the lights. I've got to replace the lights but I don't know enough about led lights to order new ones. I contacted Forest River but I haven't heard back. The only lights I've found were 16' long and that would be fine if I could cut two 2' strips and wire them up. Any help would be appreciated.

Got my lights fixed. Walking through Wally World and found some led lights that were marked 24”. Got them home and realized it’s 2- 12” strips. I went back and bought another set, soldered them together, paying close attention to the polarity, put some liquid tape on the joint and covered it with a small piece of heat shrink and it’s fixed.
