In the cupboard behind the light. I believe your tracker is simalar to our van , and that is where ours is PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raywill Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 I would have thought that but when I took the nut and plate off inside I I am left with a metal threaded pole approx 5mm coming through a same diameter hole nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hi Ray, First off are you absolutely sure the nut and stud are for the awning light or do they hold your wind out awning in place? Ours are 100% for the wind out awning! Your awning light will most probably be a LABCRAFT like the picture below, I have just replaced ours as it was fading badly. After removing the white 'cover' you should find a small notch under one edge of the opal section. If you lever gently it will pop off as it is held in place by a large, thin 'O' ring. Replacement is simply reversing the procedure. Keith. PS I replaced my fluorescent bulb with two 15 cm strips of LED's at a 45 degree angle to the ground.

Raywill Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Thanks Keith you was right ,I was trying to prise the main body off,not the cover it came off easy.as for the spindle inside it was connected to the awning one more tap on the spindle could've been like only fools and horses with the chandelier disaster,thanks for all replies ray.
