Could someone point me to a good thread on replacing the interior ceiling halogen lights on a 2013 Bounder 35K? (I tried searching, but couldn't quite find what I was looking for.) I'm interested in how to get the old ones out, what to replace them with (probably LEDs), and pictures would be nice. My goal is more light and less heat.

Thanks,
MathComp

I've replaced all my interior lights with LED's. Tried the cheap eBay and Amazon ones and finally ended up buying much higher priced ones from M4.
The old halogen lights were so hot that they would melt the cover and the vinyl headliner. Did have to break the old reflector/heat sink out and glue the socket back in. My rig was correctly wired so polarity wasn't a problem.

A little more information would help you get better answers. Are you talking about replacing the whole lighting fixture or just the bulbs? If you have little round recessed halogen lights, than I can tell you that I just replaced the halogen bulbs in our Newmar with these LED lights purchased through amazon.com and they worked extremely well.

Looks interesting! I'll check them out.

I'm sorry I didn't post more specific information, but there were two reasons for that. First, I'm open to any suggestions. Second, since I posted in the Fleetwood Owner's forum with a "Bounder" prefix along with my year and specific Bounder model, I assumed the people reading my post would know to what I was referring.

I'm still wondering how to open or take down the fixtures without damaging anything that could get me in trouble with Mrs. MathComp.
