..... I do like the underside lighting which actually provides useful illumination on the patio area. ....
One side of our lights stopped working shortly after buying our trailer. After talking to a tech about what is involved to replace them, I decided it wasn't worth it. I was told they need to drill a larger hole to get the wire connector out, then caulk it and put the new light strip over it. I'd like to here from someone that has replaced theirs to see how they did it.
I will let you know. Having to replace one side after front cap was repainted and shop messed up light strip. Have LED strip. Just waiting on Grand Design Support to respond with what sealant or adhesive they use on original installation.
Up here in northeastern Canada it’s salt and moisture that destroys LEDs and everything else lol (at their connecting points mostly WRT LED’s)....my F-150 tailgate lightstrip received copious amounts of clear silicone over the entire light (basically fully engulfed) and copious amounts of lithium grease in the 4way pin. It survived 3 years up til I sold it. Could still be working today..It is a bit disappointing to read that others are having the same problem as I am with the led's on the front of my '17 384 GK. I had mine replaced last year, under warranty, now they are out again. Facing the unit from the front, over half of the led's on the right side are out. The lights really helped out after dark. I also have the same issue with the led's on the rear awning bar, there are a number of them out on it as well. Is there anything that can be done other than replacing the led strips every couple of years?
Sorry it has taken so long but I did replace one of my front cap LED lights. The lights are 56" and about $20 US each. I used a black silicon for the ends.Also had to drill a bigger hole to get wiring connection through. GD wired before inside of cap finished so you can not pull connectors through existing holes.
