I breifly thought about painting but too late. Though I think just by design too flimsy with too few screws.

One was from private party-which is what motivated me, the second- best price I could find was 31.5 shipped thru ebay Bargman 47-84-410.
Just FYI if looking the 47-84-410 and 42-84-410 are the same (red)led replacement lens. The 42- & 47- refers to packaging. The 42- is hard plastic pkg, the 47- is in a plastic bag. Hence youll see different dimension for product.
While I tend to agree on wire nuts used in automotive use not the best choice by far, especially where wire can move/exposed, these once installed are tucked inside wall fairly snug so no movement. Orientated nuts vertically so no moisture can collect, they replaced crimped on wire nuts. As I may try to come up with something on the B/Us so other than resealing base, ease of removing. Otherwise I generally reach for the soldering iron but RV lights I don't consider permanent. Hmm I did deform the crimp on nuts to inspect wire for corrosion-none, wonder if its the brass bulb in steel socket mounted to aluminum plate mixed with water. ha
