Why is there so much confusion?

I have the reg Bargman taillights on my class C motorhome (2006 Ford E450). There are 2 red that are running/brake/turn, and one reverse light (all in one unit) i just want to upgrade to the LED replacement parts from Bargman which is a simple plug in sealed unit for each light. The problem is i cant get a straight answer if these will cause a "hyperflash" or any other issue on my coach
  • When my wife started menopause she became afflicted with those hyperflashes....she turned hyper at almost every word I said or at every answer to a question. It was like Jekyll and Hyde for awhile.

    And then you installed an electronic flash unit and everything was OK after that. :B

    Worse, they change the "code books" to require it !

    While I do think that GFCI outlets are a good thing, but now the National Electrical Code (NEC) require "tamper resistant" outlets and "arc fault" outlets.

    I raised to kids, have 5 grandkids. We put those plastic safety caps in the plugs that the kids might get to. Even myself who loved to play with wires and batteries as a kid, never got the 120VAC ZAP !

    I have never heard of a residential fire from an "arc fault". Maybe one or two melted outlets at worst.

    NO disrespect implied here, but this one is just too good to leave alone.



    So did she get any brighter like the LED's would have been?

    I mean you have an RV so obviously you're not staying at Holiday Inn Express's either so .......


    :B
  • I like to keep things simple as possible and - since they're not draining the coach batteries at all when camped - I just keep replacing the stock outside chassis incandescent bulbs every 4-5 years when one stops working.

    Everything new is not "good", but everything new requires effort/money ... that usually detracts from life's really important activities ... and probably makes me poorer and some person hiding in the background richer.
