Above door light......Am I being really thick?

[Taff015]

Does anyone know how I get to the bulb on the light that's above my motorhome door? I'm clearly having a senior moment as I cant figure it out!!!


Many thanks

Looks like two holes on the underside. They may be drainage holes but more likely have recessed screws or spring catches. Can you post a picture from below with the door open please. Also, make, model and year of the Moho might help. By the discoloration, it's not new.

When you’ve broken it go led from Aten lighting, dimmable too.

I think you will need to move the drip rail above it because you release tabs on the bottom and then it lifts slightly for it to come off. I replaced mine because tj
he halogen bulbs had discoloured the lens.
I replaced the halogen bulbs in mine with side pin round leds, in cool white, bought from Aten

I stabbed at the 2 holes over weekend but couldn't work out how to get it off. Also cos I'm a short arse getting that high up is a challenge!!

Same as mine. Release the top first and it comes off easily.
I plan to replace mine though as with only two bulbs (LED in my case) it is still as dim as a TocH lamp.

Best to try and remove the light fitting on a warm day or try to warm it up with a hair dryer a little before trying to bend it off, because cold plastic doesn't like being bent off .

Ah, has similar swirly things as my hobby but you’ve gone “posh”, need to have a go at breaking mine now

Haven’t heard that expression for a few years

Here you go

Just been and taken mine off to remind myself

Two little tabs drop into the holes on the bottom, pushed up with small screwdriver and cane off easily , but if a hook on top to locate when refitting then just push bottom back in to relocate the lugs

Hope that helps

I was thinking the same.

Smashed the old one off on Tuesday and put some led bulbs in and replaced with the new cover! All good.. I will post on Saturday to see if it actually stays put on my upcoming trip to Scotland!!
