ARGO Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Yep, perfect fit. Understand, the custom units like I bought for my (2003) KA require the newer style bulb sockets, and newer style bulbs. (And BTW, Ford black is ground and Newmar white is ground, don't ask.....). I also installed a 2014 Ford PU cab-back light w/all LEDS in place of the miserable Newmar high stop light. Requires a bigger cutout, but a careful man with a Dremel can fix that. It "just" covers the existing light/bezel combo nicely. Pics available You'd have to see the movie to understand.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARGO Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Correction on the taillights- that should be Econoline/Excursion, not Explorer. You'd have to see the movie to understand.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you found better replacements for the marker lights? My lenses are dried out and falling apart, Grote originals but wonder about what might replace them with lower cost.

ARGO Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Marker lights- the front markers are same as Peterbilt long nose front fender side lites, and those have a chrome bezel. Rears are same shape/size but red You'd have to see the movie to understand.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpsinc Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 If your roof is the same as mine, and I have a KA, its fiberglass, so using a membrane would be going backwards. A liquid EPDM coating is best. I will be using it but I have found a place to tint it so I will be covering the roof and the front cap with the tinted coating the color of the foundation color of my trailer.

Mike S. Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Anyone know if the KA lights are the same as the American Star? I don't believe the AS has an extra brake light, that would be a good idea, but in the meantime, I have always planned on replacing the rear lights with nice bright LEDs, just not so sure I wanted to just install new bulbs, in a sun faded but whole tail light assembly, or just replace the whole thing - new lens new illumination. Guess I need to find some AS owners that had the same ideas and completed them.
