Hi All.
Sometimes its not your "Light Bulbs" at all. If you lens ae in god condition and not all scratched up, it just might need the "Ground Wires " cleaned up where it attaches to the RV. Frame.
I though I needed two new lights when bought our Motorhome, and it only had 12,061 miles on the Motorhome. That's pretty soon for light to be going out, with so few miles.
It took me all of about 15 minutes to remove the "Ground Wires" and clean then, and also clean the spot on the Frame where the wire are bolted onto.
A lot of "Bare Motorhome Frames", sit at a Motorhomes Factory before they even get to them. So you can count on a lot of wires being in pretty bad shape by the time the Motoehome is actualy done being built.
Having a "Good Proventive Maintenance Programe" will mostly take care of most of your Electrial problems.
We don't have "HID Lights" on our Motorhome, and we wouldn't waste the money for them. As we see more than far enough ay might with no problems at all.
Keeping "Good Grounds" and "Tight "Connectons" keeps light burning biright and clear. Take good care of your RV, and your RV will take care of you.
Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill. and to small "Yorkie Kids" who love to travel as much as we do.
