Are the back of the sockets exposed or are they enclosed with plastic?

They are enclosed in the same rubberized plastic as the shells and the mounting. It is a sealed unit that is suitable for marine use as long as you can isolate and weather protect the terminals.

It is plastic on the housing for the lights and metal for the mounting side and license plate mount, but the LEDs are bright even in daylight. There is a little gap between the plastic and metal at the back, but i little silicon caulk and some black electrical tape finishes it up rather nicely. I was pleasantly surprised with the overall quality of these on my bike.

Well, they have plastic grips and metal bits. I'm not sure if that makes them static discharge proof.

I believe that they are protected. This is a rechargeable, but I haven't needed to use this one yet. It's a back-up battery.

The glass dome unscrews from the metal bezel (it has the same threading as a light bulb), and then you can access the sockets. Cheers!

They appear to be permanently pressed into the socket. At that price, replacing the bit would not be feasible.

The trays are only functional in holding the sockets in an upright position. They are held with a kind of pin but they are not snapped firmly in place.

Some kind of plastic that is pretty rigid . They do not bend or shape to fit teeth. They were much too small for me.

I have mine plugged into the upper socket and have not pushed plastic on bottom into lower socket. If having it there disturbs you I would just plug into lower socket and not worry about it. Have had several surges here lately and the 3 types of protectors I bought from Amazon all worked well. It truly is a good product you purchased.

They are plastic. I don't know if I would say cheap, it has held up perfectly and has been mounted under my cupboard for 8 months.

They appear to be stainless. You'd put a marshmallow on each prong and have two!

I believe they are plastic. I'm sorry for your issue, hopefully you can find replacements.

I wound up donating them so I didn't use any, but I believe they had the plastic backing. They looked pretty comparable to others that I had previously used. I no longer had a need for them and couldn't return them because I had thrown out the box they were shipped in.

They're exposed but the panini plate protects them from melting cheese. There's also a wire rack for normal toasting or pizza-baking. An aluminum crumb tray slides out from the back for easy cleaning.

As the previous person noted, metal and plastic. Do you want to buy my set? My husband used for about two weeks after surgery, they are in excellent condition.

The gears are enclosed in a plastic sleeve. I'd guess plastic, but I cannot tell. Do NOT purchase this product until you've read my earlier comments on the opening/closing door not closing!

From what I understand they are sealed. I haven't had mine very long and haven't paid attention to that. I'm not at home, so I can't look and see how the batteries are emplaced in it. I figure I'll just have to cross that bridge one day when I have to! Surely, 'we' can figure out a way to get in there and replace the batteries ourselves.
