Led lighting

Hello everyone,
Love my Winnebago vista LX35f. But I have had a couple of led lights go out. The part number is 183243-01-01A. Like I'm sure is the case for most of us. The first one was replaced under warranty and the dealer ordered it from Winnebago. Of course I was not concerned about getting one nor the price. I'm trying to find a reliable source or replacement bulbs at reasonable prices as I would purchase multiple just to have on hand. They do not have to be this specific product as long as they safely fit and work Thank you in advance

Look up M4products.com They supply 12V quality LED bulbs of all types. I have purchased several of their products and am very happy with them.

I'm not sure of your build date because I don't know what year you own. But, Winnebago bought a BUNCH of LED pucks for the 2015 model year that were defective. They have replaced my whole coach once and partially a second time. If you have a coach made about 2 years ago, call Winnebago and my guess is they will extend warranty. If they won't, I believe the manufacturer will. You can do a search and find a good bit about this problem.

Even though yours us a 2016, it might be an early build and affected by the defective lights although you likely would have had more than a couple​ fail. Worth a call to Winn. To see if you are included in the program. Good luck,

I have used Camping World & Amazon to purchase LED coach lights. All still working and all fit just fine.

Ive contacted Winnebago....with the holiday weekend, i am awaiting a reply...This may seem like an odd question, but do I have to replace the entire ceiling unit (puck) or can i purchase (if they don't replace) just an led bulb? When I open the fixture, i see the bulb but when I look on the aforementioned websites etc, I don't see anything that remotely looks like what I have......confused

If you buy LED bulbs look fir ones rated 10-30V they will have a control circuit that prevents blowing bulbs when batty chargers are charging at 14+V.
I have also seem...not used yet...controls that you can install in a lighting circuit to protect many fixtures.
Marinebeam.com
has quality replacements and the controlers.

You should have the fixture made by ITC that is widely used by the RV industry including Winn and Newmar. It uses surface mount Diodes in place of a bulb that are mounted on a circuit board. The entire fixture must be replaced. You can download the ITC catalog from their site for full specs. It is much more efficient than a led bulb and has built in heat sinking. Good luck,

Thumbs up

So I contacted Winnebago and they referred me to ITC (light manufacturer) I explained the situation and they sent me new lights at no charge and were very very helpful. I thank everyone here for the insight and direction as well.
