Upgrading parts

[afandy]

Hi.. I'm looking for a decent shop online or other that can supply me with more up to date fittings...ie led lights for interior or 12volt flush fittings.....Ive been to 3 or 4 local caravan/motorhome shops and they seem to be living in the dark ages..... Coffee coloured fittings and cream seem all they have....Urgh...... :-( any idea folks ;-)

This is another lighting-specialist website that may be of interest:

Rather than caravan/motorhome parts suppliers/outlets, you might get luckier looking at the marine marketplace (or visiting boat chandlers) as LED lighting has been big in boats long before it began to be used in road vehicles.

Also for LED lights these are useful

We spent weeks going all over the place looking for decent lights for our lancashire.

we went to cak, a fair trip but the board with the lights on would not work and the chap in the shop couldn't have cared less, i don't think it would of took long to get it going, certainly not as long as it took us to drive there.

They couldn't seem to grasp that i was not likely to spend £80.00 plus pounds on lights i couldn't see working, (not all led's give off a nice glow).

what we did, was look at new vans in a showroom and when we found a style we liked we ordered them from the manufaturer.
