Mid Coach Turn Signals

I just checked our 2016 CS. I have three side marker lights on each side plus a pair on the mirror arms. The Ramco mirror arm lights are incandescent and are strictly marker lights. The rearmost side marker is a red LED and strictly a marker light. The mid-coach marker is an amber LED that acts as a marker as well as a turn signal light. The last side light is up front on the side of the rear cap. It is amber and also acts as both a marker and a turn signal. The LED marker lights are nice and bright and have an attractive chrome bezel on them. They are very visible to traffic along your side.

You could maybe hook up one of those school bus swing out stop signs, mount it to the side of the coach and relabel it "I'm Turning! Move it or lose it".

Good one Mark.

Thanks Mark for the info,

Would you check on have many wires you have coming from your mid coach turn / marker light and the from the side front marker / turn light.

I'm guessing 3 from the mid coach and 2 from the front.

Thanks, Richard

Started upgrading the side marker lights today. These 10 LED marker light that fit the factor holes perfect are available at Pilot/Flying J for $10. Brand name Roadpro Posi-View LED with 61/4 Stainless Steel Base. Part #PR1370RD for red and A for amber.

The connections that come with the lights will plug into the Entegra plug, white to white, black to black....I used RV Goop to seal the connections into the plug.. I will be adding additional amber lights and they will all flash when I get home to do the wiring.

Chuck,
Do you have a plan on how you will make them flash with turn signals.

Your choice of lights looks good, should be a lot brighter than what you had.

If you do not have them, GET them. Saved me a wreck today on the way to Vegas. Passed a semi going up a steep grade and as soon as I could turned on signal to return to the right lane. Somehow a four wheeler slipped in between and was in my blind spot passing on the right! I don't know how he got in there but he was going FAST. I started easing over, he had already seen the side turn signal and had headed to the shoulder, I saw him and quickly corrected back into the left lane. There is a good possibility that without those side turn signals we could have had a bad outcome. Put them on guys! Lecture over but they made a believer out of me.

AMEN!!!! I have had way too many close calls on this trip. Of the three tail lights, only one of them flash. That was a shock to me when I was checking the lights out. I will have all 3 of them flashing if possible. No wonder people have no idea we are changing lanes, they can't see any signals!

I found the amber lights to match the red ones at a Pilot in MS today, I bought 4 of them. Two to replace the side markers and two to add to the front. There are 2 models of this light. I wanted the model that the SS trim is held in place with the light screws. The other model the SS trim snaps into the lens.

The amber lights I will probably tap into the front turn signal which are already wired for running lights and turn signal.

The rear red lights I was "thinking" of coming off the factor 4 pin towing plug that I am not using and see if it will work as turn and running light. I have a box of 4 pin plugs with leads at home that are not being used.

The 10 LED replacement lights are bright! What a difference over the 2 LED factory lights. That would make them 5X brighter

Chuck, ANOTHER advantage for the 2016, all 3 rear light blink with the turn signals!!

I'll bet I'll have a 2014 that will road talk like a 2016 as soon as I get home.

The package states SS and they will cut you finger like SS, so they must be stainless Construction quality is 10 times better than factory lights. These are even sealed where the factory light are not, they come off in 2 pieces.
