Interior and exterior led lights.
I wanted to ask if I will need to re solder the lose wire on the attached pictures or just buy new housing to replace light?

I just replaced the entire fixture when the diodes started burning out. The bottom picture is the exact original fixture in my 2015 30DS. I had 11 of them. I’ve been replacing them with these. 5 Pack RV LED Ceiling Double Dome... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0733RQDXL...p_mob_ap_share

I replaced my original ceiling lights with two-mode lights. I bought the two mode LED lamps from Amazon:
AutoEC LED Dome Light, 2 Color Mode 12V LED RV Ceiling Dome Light Fixture, Interior Replacement Light for RV, Trailer, Camper, Motorhome, Boat
2 Mode Fashionable Design --- The Dome Light with on-off-on switch, can change the color from pure white to warm white, give you different feel. Warm white light output provides a cozy illuminated environment just like home. I have six installed & control the color mode with a wall switch. It only draws 5 Watts and provides total 1000 lumens of brightness.
My FR3 in White Light.
My FR3 in Warm Light
I have six installed & plan to replace more.

I also replaced all of my original ceiling light on our 2016 30DS with the same LEDs for the same reason, they started losing diodes on a number of them. I also went a step further and added window tinting material to certain fixtures (i.e. over the living room seating area and the fixture over the head of the bed area). I just went by the local window tinting business and asked for some scrap material in various tint levels and cut a piece to lay into the lenses assembly. Give it a try, it works very well.

Great idea! I’ve got some scraps from doing my windows. I’ll try that, especially over the head of the king bed.

Use Wago connectors when you replace the light assembly. Easy Peezee!!
