New bulbs for reading spots

[Ivory55]

I have brought some new bulbs for the reading lights. How many people manage to change them their selves or are you sausage fingers like me. I have tried and I cannot get them in . Once the bulb and my fingers are by the light I cannot see the 2 little holes that they go in , hopeless. Good job I only took one bulb out, thinking it could be a service time job.

You might try a pair of needle nose pliers, being careful not to squeeze too hard.

Or borrow next doors ten-year old!

Well I had another go this morning and asked myself why do they make a simple operation so hard to do, and have given up.

Simple really. It's so difficult because the manufacturer makes it that way so, in frustration, you break the light fitting and you have to buy a new one!

Just another thought. It is the right type of bulb you're trying to put in? There area different "sizes" in that format.

I can’t even get the original back in. Have decided I am not motorhome maintenance compatible. Haha.

Find plastic tube that is a tight fit over bulb. Soften with hot water to help it go on. Then push in bulb.
