Caravan LED Road Lights

Disappointed no advice regards a make of LED to replace fog and reverse lights on my caravan

Disappointed no advice regards make of LED to replace my fog and reverse lights

KugaOwnersClub.co.uk has some posts on the subject already and will probably have knowledgeable people who can take you further. 

I wouldn't take it personally  ... obviously no one else here has had the same problem.

I'd  just take a guess & order some off eBay  ... they're not too expensive & won't break the bank if they then have to sit in a Man Drawer for the next 15 years. 😉

Hi.

I am currently experiencing the same problem with a recently acquired S-Max. The Ford dealer arranged for tow bar fitting which left me with caravan reversing lights and fog lights not working - until I removed both nearside lights.

Not really wanting holes where even legally unnecessary bulbs should be, I spent a long time trawling through the Amazon minefield of LED replacement “bulbs” yesterday. Today I’m expecting delivery of 4 LED lights to use as reversing and fog lights but, ahead of their arrival later today, I started wondering about their legality. That also seems to be debatable!

My not entirely successful Internet search led me to this Caravan and Motorhome Club exchange which, although it didn’t give me an answer, confirmed that the, admittedly plausible, explanation from the tow bar fitter probably was right, and it wasn’t the Ford dealer specifying a less-than-ideal installation to minimise their costs!

I see this “discussion” (a bit one-sided as discussions go) started two years ago so I wonder if there are some definitive answers by now?

Not sure what your van is but it sounds like you need an LED Control unit fitting to the caravan similar to THIS, other makes available for different vans.

On the subject of removing bulbs I would say that it is illegal and would certainly be classed as a modification by your insurance co. As far as I know if a vehicle is fitted with any lights as standard they have to be in working order.
