New Backup and Docking Lights
I recently replaced the incandescent backup and docking lights on my 16 year old 1121 with new fixtures that use LED's. I need more light when we're backing in to a dark campsite, or my garage, than the old lights produced. The new lights all put out more lumens than the old lights, at a lower wattage.
I ordered them all from Amazon.
These are what I replaced my backup lights with. Nine LED floods, 27W, 1980 lumens each.

I removed the lens over the backup light, gutted it leaving just the wires, and made a cover for it out of a piece of aluminum that I could mount the new lights to.

Much brighter!


This shows how much more light they produce. No interior lights are on in the garage.

This replaced the docking/porch light on the rear. This is actually a Dual 220LM Amber/520LM White LED fixture that is about 25% larger than the old one. It turns on amber first, then white if you cycle it off/on quickly.

Installed on the camper. It comes with a switch on the fixture, but I'll probably never use that since there's a switch inside.


I bought two of these to replace the docking lights on each side. 300 lumens, bright white. The fixture is the same size as the old one, and the screw holes are even the same.


I've only been able to try them out at home, but they seem plenty bright to me.
These are intended for backing/docking use only.
