I have a light not working so one is coming from Newmar. Anyone know how they are held in place and what it takes to replace one? I have to replace the far right one, a single, on the front cap.
 
I think the marker lights are siliconed in place. I'd call Newmar to be sure.

I was considering replacing all of them, just to clean things up. Then I found out how much they cost and decided to apply some old-fashioned elbow grease. Just replaced the rear markers. Local repair guy said the fronts were siliconed in place.

The wiring is going to be a treat. You better believe I'm not going to let that wire fall into that hole but my luck that is probably what will happen!
 
Just hold it with your teeth while you do the other stuff.
 
Knowing Newmar there will be 1 inch of slack available.
 
I dont have any blown out, but am very curious what you find.

Replacing bulbs should not be made this hard.

I don't know why hey cannot use lights commonly found at truck stops. On my class C I had to pry them out with two screw drivers, followed by two claw hammers wrapped in towels (trying not to act arch the paint. Way too much work for a light bulb.
 
Our coach the lights are held in with 2 screws in each light. Your vintage I have no clue. Back in the day they used common Graco lights.
