Exterior LED lights in nose
My LED lights in the nose have extinguished. I have and idea how it happened. I sealed the nose with vehicle wrap during storage. Water got behind the film and filled the LED indention with water and soaked the lights. Now they don't work. Anyone replace these? How did you do it? Thanks

I guess I would check power supply first, but I am curious about the vehicle wrap. Was that the white shrink fit that I see some people use on their boats?

Kind of...it is a self stick film with a UV component in it that car dealers use to transport cars. I tried it to protect the nose facing south here in AZ.

Just put new one's on mine as the original front eyebrow and my under awning lights went dim as far as the front cap lights go they are EASY to install and Much brighter than the original but for sur check to make sure you got the DC power going to them first here is a link to some on E bay http://www.ebay.com/itm/x2-24-RV-LED...4ec3e5&vxp=mtr It takes a little time to peel the old lights and residue off and gouge out the old silcone but once you do that it is simple splicing the wires on the new ones and stick them on and put clear silicone on each end to seal out the water

No problemo and cheap fix and you will like how brighter they are and if your under awning lights start to fade out(and they will) you can buy some for about 60 bucks on E bay that are way brighter as well

Don't assume that the lights themselves are bad. The fact that both sides quit working tells me it is either a power or a ground problem. What's the chances both strips of lights would fail at the same time? Besides, these are built to take water on them....Lots of water.
