I think I'm going to order these. Anyone see any reason why not?

[mayco]

I just did. I dont know if you have Fastenal out in California Dean but here in the midwest they are a reputable company.

[dadstoy]

Yup, they are all over the place. I have purchased from them before. So I think I would trust them too! Thanks!

My original lights are just fine and I rarely drive at night, but I would really love to have LED's. I would like to sit at ranch campsite and have running lights on at night!

The Airstream at the ranch really makes other jealous and I'm so into that! LOL

[mayco]

Hehehe, love it

[bobmiller1]

yeah....we know "The WOW factor", it's an Airstream thing ! take care guys

[bobmiller1]

P.S. just ordered them amber and red for the 325, thanks !

[mayco]

Ur welcome. Ive been keeping my eye out for a good sale on good lights and these seem to fit the bill. Ten LEDs per light is darn good. Others Ive seen at 5-6 bucks have 2 per light. Amp draw will be cut by about 2.5x compared to the 10 oem lights.

Thanks for this info...we're in the midst of converting the Argosy to LED inside and out.

Guys, be aware these may or may not work. Make sure you have two things- some space between the back of the light so you have room for your wires, and make sure you get the two wire version, not one wire and a screw ground to the frame. I made this mistake and tried to work with it- ended throwing out the whole set, red and orange.

I sense a fly in the ointment !

[mayco]

We will see, I have yet to pull apart one of the oem lights to see whats what. Ill still risk the $45.

Here are the lights I got yesterday I think they are the same. They are single wire I have used theses before and they worked fine.

The ground is via the mounting screw The body of the coach is your ground this has always worked for me. You can see the recess in the back for the wire. It is only needed for the 3 rear red center lights because they have no casting they mount right against the body.

How do you like my tail light Conversion to led

I don't know why SebasSF had problems his coach body should have been ground ?

[mayco]

That tail light is beautiful! Yes I dont foresee iny problems with the ground, one could always crimp a hoop connector on a pig tail and run you mounting screw through it. I wish they had pictures of the back of the running lights but I couldnt find them anywhere so, cross my fingers and I think I can make them work. No biggie if they dont, can always return and eat the shipping.

Now those tail lights are a bit more complicated is my understanding. There is even a relationship to the cruise control. I havent delved into that yet. Like I said, your retrofit is niiiiiice.

[dadstoy]

I'm hoping that my only disappointment is going to be the state they were shipping out of today.

[bobmiller1]

How about some more info on the taillight conversion...looks pretty cool to me, did you do away with the center back-up light in the taillight housing ?
