Hymer Outside Light Repair (1 Viewer)

[Stewart J]

Hymer have been using the same design light for 20 years or more. Mine is a 2017 and is LED, one side failed recently. A replacement unit is a stupid price at over £100 so here is my solution which others may find useful. I purchased two 50 x 22mm 36 LED boards from eBay. They come with industrial strength self adhesive pads, I made up a panel to mount them on from a cd case, and drilled it to suit the plastic spigot which holds it in place in the fitting with a star washer. The boards come fitted with small plugs I removed these and soldered the wires together for strength as they are rather fine. The wires supplying 12v to the original light are soldered to the board, at my age I wasn’t going to attempt re soldering them to my board perched up a stepladder. Tried small terminal blocks but found them to be too bulky so settled for straight tubular crimps. Well pleased with the result it’s much brighter than the original.
