How Do You Replace Outdoor RV Lights?

When you’re out on the road in your RV, you want to make sure that you’re always visible to other drivers. To do this, you need to make sure that your RV’s exterior lighting is in good working order. If any of your RV’s lights are malfunctioning or need replacing, then it’s important that you take the necessary steps to replace them with new ones.

When replacing outdoor RV lights, it’s important to ensure that the new light is compatible with your existing wiring and voltage. It’s also important to check that the mounting screws are the correct size, as this can affect how secure and safe the light is. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this yourself, it might be worth asking a qualified professional for help.

Once you have the correct light for your RV, then installation is fairly straightforward. You will need to locate and unscrew the old light from its mounting bracket.

You should then disconnect any wires from around the old light before removing it completely. Then all you have to do is connect up the new light in exactly the same way as before and screw it back into position.

If your RV has LED (Light Emitting Diode) bulbs installed then there may be a few more steps required when replacing these. LEDs tend to be slightly more complicated than other types of bulb and they usually require a resistor or capacitor to be added in order for them to work correctly.

Conclusion:

Replacing outdoor RV lights doesn’t have to be a difficult task if you know what you’re doing! Make sure that any replacement bulb is compatible with your existing wiring and voltage, and don’t forget about any additional resistors or capacitors needed for LED bulbs. If in doubt, then seek professional help so that everything is done safely and correctly.
