I have a 2000 U320. My porch light fixture at the entry door is failing. Have replaced the tubes couple times but would like to replace fixture with LED. Has anyone done this and if so where did you find the fixture.

Put inside your light after you pull ballast out
Thanks Scott. Looks like a good choice. I also found an article on All Things Foretravel by George Stoltz from a couple years ago. He replaced with led tubes. Both good choices. Thanks for your response.
Can you post a link to that article Bill? Thanks!
I guarantee that is content-scraped from Foreforums and the Yahoo Group without permission (as is the majority of that site)... give me a minute to find it.
Bill it's a easy mod. Drill out a couple 1/8" pop rivets and toss ballast and bulb mounts . Cut led strips to length and stick in place. I added some RTV to secure in the heat of summer. Gang the wires together and it's good to go. 12 volt DC.

Michelle and Keith, This is the site I found the info on.
Scott, I will get to the fixture after my knee surgery. Having a replacement on Thursday. Lining up project for when I can get back on a ladder.

Hardest part was getting the fixture removed from the bus and cleaning up the old adhesive.
The rest is EASY!
And me---I used Shoe Goo to help guarantee lifetime adhesion. That was about 8 years ago.
One thing to be concerned about when looking for LED lights in the input voltage. Everyone things no big deal if it says 12V DC Some LED fixtures do not like the 13.8-14.?? volts from coach 12v systems and will not last very long.
I have George's coach now and those yellow LED lights are still working great. They are currently lighting up a patio in a campground right now.
