Replacement Light

In June we purchased a 2016 375FL. During the PDI we noticed a ceiling light was out , no big deal another one was ordered to replace it. After two tries and non matching lights arrived the dealership called about the issue. It seems that our original lights are no longer made. The question was asked " so its ok to put a non matching light in on a new unit" Keystones answer "yes". GRRRR!!!
So we came to a solution , take the ceiling light out of the bathroom and replace the burnt out living room light and put the non matching light in the bathroom. ON a new rig shouldn't have to go thru this nonsense.

No kidding. This is the sort of thing that needs to be brought up at the National Rally. If you go, you might be able to talk them into replacing all your lights with what they use now. At the very least you could embarrass them in front of the whole group of Montana owners.

I would switch lights like you said. No one would ever notice and if they did they would think it was built than way. To me no big deal.

It will work this time but what about the next one that burns out? On a new rig you would think that you could get replacement parts. Its not a matter of replacing the bulb as its a one piece molded into the fixture.
