I want to replace the headlights on a 2003 Tradewinds. The lens covers are very scratched. Anyone know which automotive headlamp they used?
Thanks!
Jack

Jack where are you located. For my Sea View (also National) I went to Walt's RV salvage (he deals in National and Fleetwood over stock) and found new units for $5.00 each bought 4. You could give him a call.
If not get the part number off lens and check with 1001 lights they are on the web and should have them or at least you can find out what they are.

Jack, I'm new to this forum, but noticed your headlight inquiry. Assuming your Tradewinds is an LTC model, the headlights are from a Ford F150/Bronco - 1995, 1996 models. Instead of using Ford lights, NRV used a cheap aftermarket version. I believe they were TYC brand. Mine did the same thing. They aren't actually scratched. They have hair-line cracks from exposure to the sun.

I replaced mine last year. You can purchase directly from Ford or used from a wrecking yard, or the same TYC lights you have now. I elected to replace mine with lights similar to the ones at this site -
Xtralights
They produce much improved night visibility than what I had before.

Hope this helps.

Ken
