I have several of these lights on the bridge. One is not working. How do I open it and where can I get a replacement bulb? I don't want to break it.

If you see no screw etc on the outside trim then it most likely pops on. Carefully take a small screwdriver etc and gently pry around the outside next to the wall its mounted in and the trim ring should pop off. Then you can see what bulb it has. Another option Is there a light near a opening or storage compartment you could look behind for how it might be mounted?

Thank you! I should be able to get behind it and see how it is mounted.

When you do open it up, find a replacement LED bulb and replace all of them. Chances are you will never have to replace them in the future as they last thousands of hours

It is a sealed 3 LED light. They are available from multiple sellers on Amazon, called a courtesy light. 3" x 1 1/4". Inexpensive, waterproof.

I wiggled the wires going into the light and it is working again for now. It is a problem with the fixture itself, not the crimp connections.
Take care,
