while I understand the OP's thought process, i disagree with his statement on danger.

nothing wrong with upgrading, but the comment on Dangerous cheap out, is just that, "dangerous"

If you want them to change then lobby the govt to make the standards better. Bullies? Good lord.

I will plead guilty to using a slightly sensational headline, although nothing in comparison to many newspapers and certainly not fake news.

My intention is simply to get folks to think about what I consider a safety issue. I appreciate it when someone else uses this forum to point out things that I might not think of by myself, so I am just doing the same.

I think it's great you pointed it out. That's what a forum like this is for.

Thanks, I much prefer LED lights/bulbs anyway and was thinking about replacing all the bulbs with LEDs over time, inside and out.

On my list of must haves when purchasing a new Fifth Wheel was LED lights on the rear. I have them on my new one. Some other features like silly gimics like tablet control of your trailer where not looked at as being important.

Now B&B that surprises Me that you would not like that "Tablet Control Crap" being a Computer Geek and all! Do you at least have the Outside Lights on "Flash" all night or Sync to "RAP Noise"! Youroo!!

I am curious to know exactly what you find when you do this. I am reluctant to remove the existing fixture because I am not sure what is behind it. Did they leave a large hole?

Also if I do this I still need to have an additional light for the plate because one side has a white area to light up the licence plate.

I put LED bulbs in but I am less than pleased. You can see them lit up better but with lights on for the camera it is hard to see the brake lights defeating the purpose so I swapped back to incandescent bulbs.

Very small hole that the wires pass through on my Coachmen.

Will be putting some sealant on the back of the light when I mount my new ones.
