rvendramin Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Has anyone changed out the head lights? The whole light. Old ones are faded. I have the new ones already. Thanks Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the new ones already. Thanks Rich I have on my 2006 Diplomat. It was relatively easy. Like 6-8 screws holding brackets to coach. I went in through the genny slide and was able to access them easily. Looking at pics of your coach, you have different headlights, but as long as your have room to get behind them the process should be similar. The only thing that hung me up was that intuitively, you would think the headlights slide in from behind, but mine actually went out (and in) from the front.

Oregon04Windsor Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Yep, bought new houses off eBay and LED bulbs. I went with the slightly smoked lenses which really modernized the front of my coach and the lights work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pduggs Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I did about four years ago. My OEM headlights weren’t faded, but were totally ineffective for night driving. Monaco used knock-off headlights that match up to headlights used by Ford, in my case. As you can see, they weren’t cheap. Plus I had to take the coach to an auto electrical shop for the install, after I failed to get it right. That cost me another $250. I don’t drive much at night but if I have to, I’m confident I have good visibility. Plus the new headlights give the coach a more modern look.

planodp Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 My 04 Executive was from 1998 - 2004 Cadillac Seville Halogen Headlight SLS/STS. Came out / in from the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill46 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I replaced my headlights this past year. I purchased them from Headlight Depot for $259.00. I really love them. 2004 Monaco Windsor. Easy to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Maida Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I wet sanded the lenses with 2000 grit sand paper. Then I buffed them. They came out like glass. Then Ibought new Silver Tip bulbs. I have heard of people doing that. I myself was not up for tackling it. I’m more than happy with my results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
