Interior LED lights Winnebago

My 2016 Vista 30T has two interior LED lights that have quit working. I have removed the covers but see no way to remove the LED's? Do I need to replace the entire unit or is there a way to remove the LED that I am not seeing. The LEDs are a small flat square and seem to be not removable? If they are HOW?

    I do believe you will need to replace the entire fixture. When we purchased an Adventurer in 2013 we were told that the following year Winnebago would be switching to interior LED lights. At that time we would be able to replace the halogen bulbs that came in our coach with LED components.

    I tried on several occasions to order replacements only to be told no such bulbs existed. Finally at the 2016 GNR I asked a rep how I could replace our current Halogen bulbs. At that time I was told that the only way to replace just the bulbs was to order them from an after market vendor. Winnebago had decided that rather than continue purchasing the same fixtures with LED's they decided to go with another vendor that supplied the housing and bulb as a complete unit. They were less expensive, but if one failed the entire fixture would need to be replaced.

    As a side note you might want to contact Winnebago. They did have a number of problems with the all in one units. At one point they were replacing them at no charge to the original owners.


    I would replace with aftermarket with a real bulb. That way if one burns out again, you can simply replace the bulb.

    Get your wallet out or look on Ebay.

  • Are they the "strip" LED lights inside the fixture? If so, I believe yes.
