Front Cap LED light removal????

[jtownstumpjumper]

We have a 2014 Silverback 33RL......before I tear something up can anyone advise as to how one goes about replacing one of the front cap LED lights....don't know if they screw in or simply snap in place...it's circular and consist of 8 small lights with one in the center....hope the pic helps.

Go to the Forest River web sight and send a message to them and they will be glad to tell you

I have never removed one, but have been told they are just pressed into the rubber gasket tightly.

They are pushed in placed and held by the rubber gasket. To remove carefully use an O ring or/and small flat head screwdriver. Pulled one out when trying to inspect the framework.

It's been a while. But I was careful not to damage rubber or fiberglass. Hope it helps.

Does the rubber gasket remain in place or does it come out too??....I've got one where 3 of the 8 circular bulbs are not burning....I'm sure there's a stock number on the bulb when I get it out.

Silverback has a strip that is double face tape. With clear silicon where wires go through front cap. You need to pull off use a file to oblong the hole for wires and but splice new one on reason for I longing hole is to fit connectors back in press new LED strip on and seal the hole for the wires

I had to replace one of mine. The bulb should pull out of the surrounding rubber ring. It is a little difficult but it will pull out. Contact your dealer for replacement or Forest River. These LED bulbs are suppose to have life time replacement.

New silverbacks have a 2 foot long strip of LEDs on the front cap not the round ones

Light and or rubber grommet might come out together or separate.
Little screw driver should pop it right out.

I know when I just changed my front lights on the front of my 5er you just need to take a small flat head screwdriver and go between the light and the rubber gasket the light will pop right out

Are you afraid you'll melt in the rain?

X2 and I also suggest not using metal implements to do it. A plastic orange peeling tool works like a charm. If your cap is painted the mounting gasket will most likely not pull out with the light puck but if it does, no big deal.

With my luck and Arkansas weather for today(we're in the red zone now until late evening)....it could be rain, sunshine, hail, tornadoes....been trying to pour a drive for this 5th wheel for a week(forms have been set since Wed last week)...no doubt, I will get wet.....looks like North Carolina will miss this front.....I'm sure you won't complain though.

simple grommet mount, small flat head is all you need
