Title: Mystery Lights
Post by: Paul Smith on September 23, 2010, 09:56:32 am
In my 1999 U320 there are two switches for Docking Lights next to the driver's seat.
 
Between them there is a switch for "Aux Lights"  What do they do/light?

Mine is the Mirror Heater. Others may vary...    I have a 2003 40' U320

Can you tell me if the light bulbs in the switches can be replaced? I have a couple burnt out, one being the "BOOST"...

Paul, That switch would be for the "fog" lights.

Thanks!  Mirror heaters are not much use for us.
 
We head South when the temperature plummets (gets below 50 ;o)

On my '04 295, the aux lights are the "driving" lights mounted very close to the bottom under the headlight cluster.  They light up the road close to the coach and a little to the sides -  good for narrow roads.

Thanks!  But again we can't use them.  We don't drive at night.

Hi Paul,
  They are the so called fog lights. They only work when you have your headlights turned on. And they do not add very much light when they are turned on. You have to be good to notice the difference. I think they would be of more use if able to be used by themselves.

Yes, simply pull the miniature bulb out and push a new one in.

Thanks Barry!  How do you get the cover off? I don't want to break nothing...

"Aux" lights in my '98 U320 = the driving-lights (read "fog lights").

Best regards!
