If you have lights on your wire lawn deer that stop working, don't toss the deer in the garbage, just change out the lights. Take a strand of 100 white wire lights and replace the old lights. It's time consuming putting all new lights on, but it's a lot less $ than going out and buying all new deer, and it's a good way to recycle also.

I didn't think of this till I had given one of mine away. I was so disheartened as I love the lit deer and had finally gotten a pair, then one wouldn't work anymore and I got rid of it. When the second one went and I couldn't find them in the store anymore (the size I wanted) my husband finally said why don't you just change the lights.
I did the same thing and tossed a couple deer out also, before I tried the re-stringing of new set of lights on one, and it worked perfectly, so then when another set of lights went out on another deer, voila! And now both are working just fine now. :-)
Wouldn't it be nice if these company's made these replacement bulbs in LED, so we wouldn't have to restring the deer every 3 years and could link to line on bushes?
I am looking for someone who can replace the lights on the metal decorations for me
Where did you get the lights with clips for attaching to the deer's wires?
I just bought a strand of 100 LEDs and wound them around the deer wire frame and they did fine. The few areas that needed to be secured in place, I used 'bread wrapper wires'.
Did you put the new lights inside the wire frame of the deer?
I just went along the frame on the outside with the lights & attached as needed w/ a bread wire tie.
