How to replace Outlook clearance lights?

[MurphyMan]

I guess that's what you call them.

Brand new owner, 2006 Outlook. How do I replace this? The bulb is good and still works. Do I have to access it from the inside of the coach? There seems to be a plywood panel over it. Can I just replace the lens. I can't seem to find one on-line.

At this moment, is it a water leak threat? I can rotate the entire assembly a bit.

Thanks!

P.S. Why do they call them clearance lights?

A replacement lens is all you need, they just pop off. Until you find a replacement, cover the hole with some clear duct tape to keep the weather out. Winnebago and some others use some unique clearance lenses which are not commonly found in an auto parts store or at a truck stop. I had a similar problem and found a replacement on the Winnebago Outdoor website. Lichtsinn Motors is another source to check.

MurphyMan, the lamp is a sealed unit and twists off. Here is a link with picture at the Winnebago online store.

PS: truck clearance lights and truck marker lights on your vehicle to show its maximum height and width. Truck clearance lights also help other drivers notice your vehicle, minimizing the chance of an accident.

MurphyMan, changed one of mine today.

Great photo. So the entire lens assembly rotates until it comes to a slot and then pops out?

Yes, turn it counter-clockwise.
