When I had the service a couple of weeks back on the motorhome I was told I needed to replace one of the reversing lights. See first photo and you will see it was installed upside down. Has top on the bottom. Angry

Had a look online for suitable lights but couldn’t find any the right size.

Gave Jayco up here a call and they had them in stock so headed over to get it as well as a few other bits.

Shock of my life when told the price. $128.50. Shocked

Second photo is the new one and the third photo is the rear of it. It has an inbuilt circuit board that integrates with the engine computer management system. Shocked

Does the circuit board have any cover to seal it from the elements?

John, very hard to pick it in the photo but the back is covered in what appears a clear epoxy.

To take a phrase from the TV show Poldark. "t'aint right, t'aint fair, t'aint fit, t'aint proper". Angry

Another rear motorhome light replacement today. 196 kilometre round trip to Jayco. $6.70 for tolls on the motorway and $118.00 for the light.

This one is the tail/stop light. Another one with those fancy printed circuits.

Looks good though. Roll Eyes
