does the "two light up things need to be replaced after a while?

The "light up things" area called mantles and, yes, they do need to be replaced from time to time. Their function is to contain the gas in order for it to burn properly, without an actual flame. If they develop cracks (they are relatively fragile) they can let the gas escape and they won't function correctly. Check for cracks or tears and if you find them, replacement is easy. They can be found at KMart, WalMart, outdoors stores, etc. Simply follow the instructions on the package. I always keep several on hand, just in case.

Yes, the two wicks are fragile and periodically require replacement, a quick and easy task.

Yes but mine will last for several seasons before the break. By the way, they're called mantels. Make sure you keep a spare set and buy the correct type for your lantern.

After they are lit for the first time they are fragile. They will last a long time but if it gets knocked over or tossed around they will probably break. I bought about a dozen spares after i bought the lantern last summer...haven't needed to replace one yet.

Hi Milton, LED lighting can be replaced when sent to the repair center. It isn't user replacable. -Vincent

The booklet says you can purchase a new light but I think it's almost the same as half the price of a new one. It's because it's suppose to lay a while. You will have to replace it yourself which doesn't seem like fun though and it's more for decoration than anything.

Hello, the burnt out lights are easy to replace. There is a center ball you unscrew and the globe just comes down. Then you just put it back up to fit in the grooved out area above and rescrew the knob. Easy peasy. Hope this helps. By the way, I love mine so much. It's so much prettier in person and so beautiful at night with the light on or dimmed.

My light goes off after a few seconds - there might be something wrong -- I agree that you have to make sure that it really fits in tight up to the edges

On my model, it has lights to let you know. Mine has been going for a year and still no change is needed.

I'll assume it's over the whole thing. Since judging from the number of hours of the light operation. But again it's just an assumption. BTW, mine works great, I haven't had any problems with its and was surprised at how bright it gets.

Yes. Pull 2 pins to remove the old light install the new light and replace the pins.

Buy a new one. When these have anything go wrong, it is cheaper to buy a new one than try and fix. I had problems with the light on mine, and it was not the light, but something in the wiring. I purchased a new one from Amazon. Very happy

The lights are LED so they do not need replacing. LED's have 100,000 hours rating, so @ 4 hrs per day, that would be 68 years to replace. I think there will be better lights by then.

Both vehicle lights went off on their own. One within minutes the other, several days later. I guess it depends on the vehicle.

I also have two but in different locations. One of them buzzed so I changed the light switch and that seemed to have fixed it. So you might try installing a brand new light switch.

If the original bulb is a dual element this week replace high and low beam. There are two leds, one on either side. One lights up for dim, both light up for brights.

I don't remember ours saying that. Maybe the plaque has a new light up feature? :0) Ours doesn't take batteries. Thats kind of weird.

I think it indicates somewhere in the packaging how long they last. We ended up venting ours before they needed replacing. The lights on my z line are another story, they burned out after a few months.

That is a great question. I am not sure, mine needs to be replaced and I was hoping to be able to use a CFL too.

You have to purchase new lights. Bummer, because 2 of ours did not work when we got them. We tried, and we are very handy but no luck.
