Title: Changing bulbs in aisle lights
Post by: Denis Golinowski on September 16, 2012, 04:48:08 AM

We have a 2005 Beaver Marguis and over the last year all three aisle lights have burnt out, one at a time. I have unscrewed the fixture and taken it out of the baseboard, but can't see how to get into the housing to get at the bulb.  I'm afraid to pry to hard and break it.  Has someone out there replaced the bulbs, and can tell me how to take the fixture apart?
Thanks, Denis

If they are the same "aisle lights" used in an '04 Monterey in the step well, you can't remove the bulb.  Seems that Beaver put in the fixtures and then sprayed on the insulating foam.  The foam expanded and seeped into the fixture so that the bulbs are permanently glued in.  

If you have "aisle lights" elsewhere, I don't know.

If they are like mine, the outside twists CCW and then you can remove the bulb.  Good luck.

Roy, I think the lights he is referring to are the ones at the steps when you enter the coach. I have never had to replace one of those so it would be of interest to me also how you would do that. Do you have to buy a whole new fixture?

In my case, yes.  Yours may not have has much foam soaked into it.
