Vanity light keeps burning out

I have a 2016 Newmar Ventana the 3 light vanity light in the back bathroom keeps burning out, The bulbs are not replaceable and Newmar is now replacing the fixture for the third time. Is anyone else having the same problem? Newmar states no other part is available. Help my warranty is about to run out. I have checked online and found nothing to fit.

    It is a 12 volt. Does the diode keep the voltage from back feeding? The rest of the fixtures have the same bulbs in them, but only one or two bulbs per fixture.

    is it 12V?
    if all else fails, maybe stick a diode in series and drop the voltage. voltage can kill lights

    I would also contact the manufacturer of the light fixture and I would also check the voltage at the light to insure that it is not too high.

    Ask for an extended warranty on an ongoing problem that Newmar has not been able to fix.
