Sealed Rear Tail/Stop & Blinker LightsI found so many problems with the festoon type bulbs, not working, water and dust leaking into the lights, so I went looking at what could be done to overcome the problems. Narva (part numbers, 94808 & 94800) have made LEDs to fit the existing housing on A'vans, just join the wires and screw in. On finding these I went ahead and replaced the old type with LEDs, that have a totally sealed body and fit into the housing fixed to A'vans by the factory. They also come with new rubber seals and thief proof covers for the four fixing screws. Narva Tail/Stop & Blinker Lights fitted to an A'van To remove the lights (you should never have to) you need to drill out the thief proof screw covers first. I have noticed only last weekend that 90% of trucks travelling the Hume to Sydney had the same type fitted. The light they produce is far greater than the festoon type, and you can see them over a far greater distance. They are not cheap at $85 each, but I think they are worth it, in more ways than one. They are sealed and will not leak, which helps. Hope this helps A'vanners. The only thing I had to do was to put a heavier earth wire in, from the car's 7 pin plug back to an earth on the car.
