Removing & replacement front marker lights - 89 Chieftain

I just went to the web site for those lights and one thing worries me, they are listed as 12 volt. The better LED's are listed as a range of voltage usually from 8-24 or 10-36, something like that. The problem with led's are they are basically a digital switch, once the voltage strays from the set point they go off, especially on the low side. It can be only a single volt that makes them drop out. You may want to leave all of your lights on including the headlights for 15 or 20 minutes with the engine off to make sure they do not do that. You would not want to find out on the road if your alternator fails at night that you no longer have any lights lit.

Agree that you are better off with variable voltage bulbs. Also, if you have changed your turn/hazard bulbs, check them flashing for a couple of minutes. Some of the older flasher units tend to read the low voltage draw as a burnt or non functioning bulb and will give you a no-flash indication on the dash.

Went to Camping World in Barstow, Fla bought some stuff and asked about 1156 base led bulbs, they had them, for like $83 bucks for 6 of them :)rotflmao . I told them they were nuts! Will be on ebay and Amazon soon. Bobby

I would love to find new lenses that fit the recesses since at least one of mine is cracked. Where did you find the correct size? I could not find any that would fit in the recess or they were way too small.

I think you may be over analyzing, and expecting more complication than is really there in the electric system of a 20 plus year old RVs.
I am leaving a single incandescent bulb in the turn lights circuit, and calling it a day...After all, I have a bag full of bulbs now.

On one trip to the Magic Junkyard, I came back with a bag of 40 assorted bulbs.  The owner didn't even charge me for them.
