Replacement lights for 2019 and completed recall

[brobox]

According to the 19 Cornerstone on NIRVC site, tear drop docking lights.
Nothing wrong with either light. I hope others will add more styles to choose from.

Hi Jeanne,

I actually called Kaper last week with the part number from one of my amber lights and they told me they had a couple hundred of the amber. They have them in red but did not give me a number.

I tried to confirm if they could provide them with the appropriate sealed connection for our Entegra's said they would have to get back to me on that.

Thanks Chuck.... pretty clear they are teardrop lights used on the docking lights.

That's great Richard...! I think you just need to change the "A" to an "R", the rest of the number stays the same.

Can they sell direct or at least provide a source to purchase them?

These are the best lights I have found so far that are turn and marker 3 wire lights. They are flush mount 6" X 2.8" and can be mounted with or without the bezel. The bullet connectors I have used plugging into the Spartan factory plug and they seems to seal fine. I used liquid electrical tape around the connection for a double seal.
These lights come in different sets, see the bottom of the linked pages.

To do factory wiring, Jeanne, Magic carpet has researched her tail off and was kind enough to share these links for the plug kit and tool.

I hope others will post lights they have found that others may like. I am sorry I do not have a coach yet to do a photo post of the mod, hopefully someone else can post that.

None of these lights are reflective, but they are safe marker/turn signals. Looks like the light manufactures don't care if they are reflective because they do not make them that I can find.

Chuck - The eBay lights arrived today and we decided we didn't really care for the look when we held them up against the coach. We are returning them and have ordered the ones you found on Amazon. With a little luck Rick will have pictures of the install by the end of the month.

Thanks for that update Linda. I will look forward to seeing how the tear drop lights look.

FWIW my 2018 came w/teardrop docking lights. I replaced one already for water intrusion. On the one or two occasions I used them they worked well. I recall they are attached by an inordinately large number of screws, a snap on pry off bezel and a whole lot of screws securing the light to the coach. The light is a 3 led focused beam which means you can't simply remove it and wipe out the moisture from the clear lens. I know, I tried. Replaced under warranty.

Also used on the 2018's at least the early models. After reading this and the posts on the recall thread I'll just keep my side turn signals.

Can someone offer up where they can be purchased? I am sure the 19 and soon to be 19 owners would like to know.

Would not any of the 3 wire marker, turn-signal lights work. This is made in many flavors?https://www.ebay.com/itm/2x6-Oval-Ch...hZJ9jX&vxp=mtr

Yes, those lights would work. I'd make sure you can get them in Red also for the two rear lights.

I would prefer 2 screw holes rather than 4. And it’s going to be important to determine the difference in brightness when flashing turn signals. If it hasn’t already been determined by the time I get my hands on the new coach, I am certainly willing to buy some lights and give them a bench test.

I received two tear drop side marker/turn signals lights in yesterday that I wanted to test before ordering the remainder. They are going to work perfect on the 19 Entegra's for having safe side turn signals and marker light. With 35 LED's the are nice and bright in daylight, and will do the job. No they are not reflective, but I would rather be safe in traffic than politically correct with DOT.
These lights have the same shape as the docking lights and look much nicer than reflective rectangular truck lights that are DOT approved and that NIRVC is using to be compliant.

I have put in calls to Pat Carroll to ask about about any progress on turn signals on the 19's, but I have not had a return call, so I am going to proceed on my own and have ordered the remaining light needed.

If others have found a solution, please add, we could all use the help.
