Looks good! I'll probably leave that project for the next custodian of our coach, though.

Looks good!  Any pics of what you had to do on the back side?  Night time should be sneaking up on you too...how about some pictures of what they do to the darkness?  :)

That's the real test. They do look bright.

For 95 to 2001 the docking lights were round and in a socket that aimed the towards the back.  I used round LED bulbs that were bout $30 each.  Very nice.  All of the takeouts fit my tractor where bulbs don't seem to last very long.

Will take a night pic this evening and post. Used them last night and there is a big difference and that is just with one installed.
No heat compared to halogen.
Pretty much plug and play.
