Good Morning,

I have a 2012 Entegra Anthem and one of the docking lights is out. I'm not at the coach now, but can someone tell me if you have to replace the whole unit or if it is a bulb that comes out and can be replaced.

Thanks for your help!

I believe the 2012 has those round docking lights, if I recall correctly. In that case you can reach behind them and remove the bulb assembly, which should be a quarter turn bayonet style pigtail.

Thanks Cruzer....mine has the rectangular lights... Just not sure if you can pull the bulb or not, without going over to the coach.

If it is the same rectangular docking lights as on our 2013 you can replace just the bulb. It is an H2 bulb with a short pigtail. Some one mentioned the bulbs were hard to find but i saw them in an O'Reilly store just a few days ago as i was looking for another bulb. The retangular frame comes off with two screws and the light assembly falls to the out side and you can manipulate the retaining clips or springs to remove the bulb. Fairly quick and painless. i have had ours apart and prepare for the housing behind the skin to be full of sand and dirt. I spent some time cleaning things up and sealed the housing to the back side of the skin with a bead of RTV around the perimeter once it was back togetheri. If things are not positioned correctly the lamp assembly will 'float' inside the retaining frame since the box and cutout and retaining frame are not a really precise fit. Check for that. i ended up anchoring the lamp assembly with a few judicious dabs of RTV before putting the retainer back on.

Has anyone found a replacement for the docking lights on a 2013, mine have turned yellow and are half full of water most of the time.

Been several threads here on replacement fixtures for the docking lights. Will see if I can search for it. Attached is the replacement bulb list for my 13 Aspire.

Seems like there have been several posts in the "Modifications thread" on the Entegra Owners Forum.

Thanks Al...This described my situation exactly.

Bulb changed and back together. You were right, 5 minute job.
