This is what I replaced the incandescent units with. I could have simply replaced the lamps with LED's but this was FAR BETTER!
This is what I used on my 1984 Komfort, I can testify that they are super bright.
However, the brightness comes with a cost..
Less life.
Yep, I HAVE had to replace 3 modules out of 4 in less than 5 yrs of very little use compared to what they should last.
I will say though the replacement modules so far have been better in life.
Considering just how expensive these ones are they should outlast the RV life and buying individual replacements is super insanely priced.
I would suggest buying an extra two bay "tail, turn, stop" ASSEMBLIES while you are at it so you have a set of spares to replace any module that quits while on the road.
The two bay costs around $47-$50 and single "replacement" modules can cost $38-$40 each.
You can also buy drop in plug and play replacements if you have the Bargman #84 frame..
Which run $25-$30 each..
You will not find these at your local Walmart so keeping a spare is a wise idea..
I used those same Bargman LED replacement modules on my truck camper last year after nearly being rear-ended by a semi. The driver got next to me and told me my brake lights weren’t working, but when I pulled over to check them, they were fine. Later on though, I noticed that when you were looking down at my brake lights from about the height a truck driver would be at, they seemed to be very dim during daylight hours.
The replacement modules aren’t cheap, but they much, much brighter.
Upgraded TC Taillights to LED
