84FC AISLE LIGHT SOURCE
Two of the three small lights that function as aisle lighting when you are
trying to find your way to the bathroom at night are out. I've taken them apart and have not been able to get the bulbs out. Small dome light fixture made by Jensen. Model number 8142 SG made 7/82. I've looked through the BB database and done some Google searches for replacements but am coming up empty. Anyone know of a source for these or a good replacement? Eric Johnson 8435SBWL2 |

Fred,
Looks just like your picture only the socket has a ground and a positive lead. Hadn't thought about license plate lights, but that makes sense. Could probably find one of those at local NAPA store.

Eric,
I recently replaced those aisle lights in our 83 FC 35 with LEDs. They work great, no heat, very little power consumption... a couple watts maybe.. you can leave on all night if you want to. I recall one or two of the old ones came out real hard. I lubed them with some aerosol electric contact lube and they finally came out. I will try to post a part # and source for the LEDs.

Those lights were originally Signal Stat Chrome License plate lights #430W, 12
volt. I found them (different manufacturer) at e-trailer.com Snap-in License Snap-In License Plate, Utility or Dash Light - Chrome Plated 1-1/2" Diam x 2" L; Chrome-plated housing; replaceable bulb; snaps into required 1-1/4" mounting hole; 1-wire; 1-bulb incandescent Tommy Rountree |

Hi Eric
The second wire can be attached to the base if you can only find a self grounding lamp.

a small led may work well and draw less

Bill,
I like the LED idea. I found replacement single wire bulb fixtures at local NAPA and will work simple fix to ground the mounting plate. Did the LEDs put out enough light? On the subject of LED lights, I've been thinking of replacing the existing fluorescent lights behind the overhead bins with rope lights or some LED panels. Tired of messing with the unreliable fluorescents. Has anyone tried this kind of replacement?

Eric,
The LED aisle lights I used are plenty bright no issuer there. Regarding the fluorescent lights behind the cabinets: I did an experiment last year with the rear curbside one and replaced it with two 12-lamp, 12-volt hockey puck style LEDs I got at Home Depot. I installed these between the aluminum reflector and the plastic lens. Its not quite enough. I think three would be ok, That would be 36 bulbs and 50 probably better. Within the past year the LEDs have gotten better and cheeper but still not quite ready for prime time in my opinion. We also experimented with the reading swivel head reading lamps while at Quartzsite in January. There were a number of different vendors selling these in different configurations from about $9 to $30 each. We tryed 4 or 5 different bulbs. The expensive ones seem to hold up. The inexpensive ones don't. Some of the middle priced ones were just OK but tend to flicker. It seems voltage regulation is an issue. LEDs are getting better and cheeper all the time. I give them another year and should be reliable and affordable. Sam's is now selling LEDs with Edison bases. Using some on the garage dawn to dusk. So far, so good.
