Default Replacing a Featherlite brake light

Got my car all loaded up to go to WG tomorrow and did the usual walkaround of my trailer. Apparently one of the brake lights is out. It's just one element on one bulb so I'mn pretty sure it's not the wiring. The problem is that the bulbs are in this sealed clear plastic pod once you get the amber cover off. It doesn't appear to come apart but obviously it must. Any ideas?

It also could be a sealed water tight light? In which case you will have to replace the entire unit. JD

I agree with JD, I think you have to replace the entire unit.

Well that's not very convenient. I found the replacement unit online but obviously this won't help me tomorrow.
