Both of my LED strips on the CAP of my 2013 Montana have several LED's not working. Are there replacement LED strips out there?
I had the same issue. My unit was out of warranty so I did some searching and replaced mine with a waterproof set, much better quality than original. Not too expensive, but more expensive than some that you can find out there. I didn't want to have to replace again as quickly as the OEM ones. Easy job, the hardest part is the removal of the adhesive. The wire connections will need to be cut and soldered to the new LEDs. Make sure that all your connections are waterproofed and seal the hole that passes into the cap. LEDs are sensitive to polarity, thereby understand you need to get the plus and negative correct or the lights will not work. You will not damage them, but will not let current pass in the wrong direction as they are a diode,....Light Emitting Diode.
