Does anyone know if you have to take the entire ground line out if you have to replace just one of the broken lights? How easy is it to replace one?

Most of these types of light have a clip to clamp the wire for the light to the ground wire. You will need to locate where the old clip from the light your replacing is located on the ground wire, but this should be minimal digging. The clamp should be pretty shallow and close to the light your replacing.

All you need is access to the section of the cord you're going to hook into, the cord from the light is only about 1-2 feet long. Once you've got a point on the main cable you can patch into its as easy as snapping the piece on the line. Takes all of 2 minutes.

I have the same question. Looks like the lights are gone with out notice. In fact I thought it's not working since there to light, but looks OK afterwards. What is disturbing is that as an owner of old model I was not aware of the missing lights...

it would be cheaper to replace it / go to auto sterio store and buy a role of lights , hope it helps

We only have (and saw) the white lights. Don't think you can even replace a bulb if one burns out - the whole strip was only $20 and we've certainly already got our monies worth - the lights are awesome and really enhance viewing. good luck!

Hi It is so easy it took my partner and I about 10mins. no drilling just remove 5 bolts amd unplug the lights and it comes out. Then the other one just goes in and reuse the same nuts and plug in the new one and it looks great. Fast and simple.

Easily if you know a thing or two about splicing the line. The current loss from the additional lights isn't an issue. Personally I take the fuse off it tends to die out often so direct fixes it for me

It was easy. just take the bulb out then there are 2 plastic clips holding the socket to the wiring. Unplut the old socket, plug the new one in, replace the bulb.

It wouldn't be advised to try. The plastic around bulb could crack, they are pretty cheap in that aspect. Replacing the light itself is probably a better option.

yes! i just replaced two in my garage after a period of dealing with 48" fluorescents that came on slowly or not at all until some time in the wee hours of the night. The replacemrnt procedure is very simple and should take no more than 10-15 min. per unit

I have never had to replace any of the drivers on my five individual lights. However, One of the led lights stopped working, so I removed it from the light pole fixture, thinking I would have to replace the led driver. What I discovered was one of the driver wires was shorted to ground where the wire runs though the led light mounting plate. The holes are too small and the insulation wears through grounding out the light. Once the insulation problem was fixed the light worked fine. This problem has occured two times...Both times the wire had rubbed at the mounting plate hole through to the wire.

I'm not aware that they can be replaced without sending the unit back to the manufacturer. I'm also not aware that the lights would need to be replaced with non-commercial normal use.

Well it might be repairable as the components that were fried by the lightening strike could be replaced. The question would then be at what cost and are the components available. I think since the unit can be purchased for less than $1,000 the answer would be no as the cost of the repair and components would meet or exceed the cost of getting the unit repaired. Even getting it looked at will cost something even if only the power supply was the only part effected.

Yep, the light can be replaced. Mine was broken on arrival as well. Have to pop the colored ring off and the white dome. They're both held in by plastic clips. It's not easy, but where there's a will there's a way! The light is plugged into a circuit board hidden under the dome.

You know what, I actually do not remember if there is a replacement or another one. When I got mine, all the lights didn't work so I had to return it. Sorry if it wasn't any help at all.

This should work to get your lights back to normal. Mine would either be off or on and since I replaced this part it works right. If u are not to savvy watch videos on YouTube. It is a fast and easy fix. Take less then 10 minutes. If this doesn't work out may be loose wires. But this should fix your problem. Hope everything works out!!! :-)

I have purchased two of these lights. Had problems with the first only working once in a while. The company sent me a new sensor for it, but it didn't make any difference. Was just going to take it down, but our local REC said they would look at it for me. They said everything checked out good, so they put one of their sensors in it, (greased the prongs of the sensor good), and it has not failed since. When I bought the second one, I also bought a sensor from them and installed it befor I put the light up. Hope this will help you. Don
