I live in a state with annual vehicle inspection and mine is coming up. I have one light on each side that is not working out of the 10 or so. These are the ones under the headlights and are in a curve going from horizontal to vertical. I figured that they should turn out etc. but the individual lights seem molded in place. I would like to replace it, but I just don't know how to remove an individual light. Anyone had to do this?

Sorry I have an 2018-19 Axis 25'.

Awesome RV repair shop and service. They replace my brand new rig's engine when it gernaded and a couple of those mini lights and few other repairs.

Highly recommend!


Little far from you I see

Well unfortunately for inspection all lights must work. I figured that each individually light should be removable from the chrome plastic piece that they are mounted in but I don't seem to be able to do that. I guess I will need to remove the wheel so I can get a close up look at them. I can't believe or should say I say that you need to replace the whole plastic piece just because one light isn't working.

Any and all lights should be easily accessed for removal and anyone in design should be taught that is the way it is done. I turned the wheel in so I could see it better but I have not been able to get an individual light to twist or turn for removal.

It's not, nor should it be, a priority to make things serviceable by novices.



Where would they stop? Turn-buckles that hand tighten front-end components? Thumbscrews with imprinted braille instruction on brake parts? A cure for the Castellated nut that stymies the cloistered nun? California cancer warning stickers on everything?

Do you have a link saying that all lights must work even if not safety items or are just decorative lenses?
Therefore,
if I add a jc Whitney light-up hood ornament I must prove that the clowns nose indeed lights up?

There may even be a law disallowing more than four or six front facing individual white lights.
I am all but certain that only ford e450 mandated lights are ripe for testing.



Did you call thor about ordering them?
They were under $20 last looked.

It is just two maybe three nuts on two too long studs to remove the chromed plastic and truly except for addition of thumbscrews and a long plastic cap to keep the threads clean, couldn't be easier. Easily reachable and seen.


I can take a picture if you like.
