RV light adapters needed [RE-wrenches]

[Allan Sindelar]

I haven't checked, but you might also check out Del City. They manufacture
LED exterior lighting, may have white as well.

Mick, they're harder to find because nobody builds them because nobody buys
them. I haven't had a customer needing bayonet base anything in years. And I
have quite a few old-time offgridders.

Hi Mick,

As you may be aware, many RV's make use of the absolutely cheapest parts,
equipment, appliances, etc that the manufacturer can locate. Some higher end
equipment uses commercial grade parts.

In the way of vehicle exterior lighting there is a wealth of equipment from
the established commercial suppliers like:
    Truck-Lite
    Dietz
    Grote
    et al
many, if not all, offer sealed LED light assemblies, too.

If you are committed to replacing just the bulb, then perhaps somebody like
BR Wholesale, an RV parts supply house may be able to help. 1-800-900-2468
