What did they replace them with? Do you have pictures?

They did change the lights mid-year 2016 to the new single small round lights as my early model 2017 has the small ones. I guess the good thing is nobody wants to steal our headlight assemblies.

I have just replaced the headlights on a 2015 30DS with the Chevy Silverado lights and WOW, what an improvement. If you drive at night consider this very simple mod. It makes all the difference.

Thanks, the picture looks great. I have a 2014 FR3 and assume (I Know) that they will be the same. It is just a R&R with no cutting, correct.

You will have to cut and tape off the LED power connector. It’s obvious once in there. Also need to drill a 1/4 inch hole in a tab to mount. I replaced nuts with wing nuts to simplify tightening and aiming. Main harness is plug compatible.

SO,..no replacements found for the little 3 inchers yet?
I've been looking too.
I did put a fog / spot light up front and 2 recessed in rear bumper on 3 separate switches though.
Still looking to replace those lame a** little projector nothings they call headlights.
The hunt continues

I'm about 2 bourbons and an Amazon click away from just ordering some 7" LED lights and taking a whole saw to the front facade

Never had a warranty Rep. The dealer I purchased it from sucks. I have had some luck with Forest River, I will reach out to them.
I really try not to drive at night but it happens.

How did you mount your fog/spot lights up front? Have a picture or links? I'm about to throw a light-bar on it.

SOOOOO, I added some thin spot LED lights and they are 200% better now.

I'm going to switch to a toggle switch and permanently mount the switch in the dash, but for now i ran the supplied round switch to the steering wheel and have it sitting in one the gaps.

Do these lights cause problems blinding oncoming traffic ?

No I was very careful about installing them and adjusting them so they wouldn't. I had my wife drive at the RV with them on and away from me while making adjustments until I was sure they wouldn't blind people. They're spot lights so the beam is pretty focused which helps. Using a flood style would probably blind people no matter what.

Thanks,
