Title: Replacement Headlights
Post by: Don Melnechenko on November 20, 2016, 08:00:47 PM
With regards to the headlights on our Baron, where would one find out what type of unit to buy and who would supply them?  We have a cracked and leaking headlight that needs to be replaced. We have not been able to find any info on the internet.... anyone out there have any ideas?  We will be travelling down the west coast of the U.S. shortly...

Don,
BCS (Beaver Coach Sales) in Bend Oregon can probably supply you with replacement headlight assemblies, but if you list the year model of your coach someone on the forum can probably steer you to a less expensive source.

     Hi Don, what kind of a coach do you have? Can you post a picture of one of the headlights and I'll tell you where to get one.
           Regards, Fred

Fred, We have a 2004 Marquis and have replaced the originals with new navigator units equipped with HID bulbs. Still not the best by far. Any info on what can next be attempted to get LED type units?

Doug,
Jim Nichols has converted his headlights to LED and he seems to be very pleased with the results. You can discuss the conversion with him at the Quartzsite rally.

Our original headlights were leaking and were hazed.  We replaced them with Navigator headlights purchased through Certifit.  They cost less that $250 for the pair while the Ford OEM item was >$300 each. They look fine; the bulb connectors needed to be replaced, but it wasn't all that big a deal (not that I did the work, anyway).  We don't do much night driving if we can avoid it; the replacement was primarily motivated by cosmetic concerns.
