Light issue

Hi, need help. The overhead light (NOT the halogen press in ones) with the two small bulbs broke and we had it "fixed" under warranty. It is not working again. We want to replace the light fixture. Does anyone know what it is called so we can order it? We can't find what to buy!! Thanks!!

    Yes, thanks this is it. The switch is what is broken. Do you think that makes a difference in replacing it?


    Ye, if the switch is broken a new light fixture will fix it. If you boondock much and running your battery down too quickly is an issue, click on the other link up above that Tusconjim posted as it's for an led which will use far less power. Be sure the power to the light is off before you work on it or have someone do it for you.

    I did a search on Amazon for "12 Volt RV Ceiling Light". It came up with quite a few. I'd go with the one I'm linking here. It's less money than the camping world version linked in a post above, has two switches, and is LED. It's a very simple replacement.

    If you are looking at putting a new fixture in the same spot you may have a problem. If your current light has a bad connection someplace changing the fixture won't help. A normal spot would be finding the ground connection. Try looking for "RV lighting Fixtures".
