I did my car yesterday...

When we got the new (to us) caravan, it had a couple of white marker lights down on the front bottom corners. These were not very nice, as they were full of green algae, and where the water had got into them, the LED bulbs I had put in them had started to rust and made bits of the lens brown...

I took them off to see if I could clean them up and seal them, but they were so horrible, I decided to replace them with some much nicer white LED reflectors.

Being a hoarder, I kept the capless bulb holders as they clipped in using a bayonet type fitting like yours, but had 1/4" spade terminals to attach the wires too, and were still OK. Unfortunately, I had put them somewhere safe in the garage... Yesterday, while looking for something else that was also safely stashed in the garage I came across them, so fitted them while they were to hand.

I also got some nice LED bulbs off of Ebay, which I have fitted to both cars, front and back, which are just the right brightness to show up, but do not flood out the brake light, and as front side lights are almost Day Light Running lights.
 
The connection to the bulb holders is something I want to improve on mine, there is a caravan breakers not far from me I might call and have a look.

It took me nearly 10mins to find find my thinners yesterday, never enough space :lol

Mine were from the front of an Adria, all the other caravans I have had, have used Festoon bulbs in the front lights.

I have to do out my Garage, it's got ridiculous... The worst problem is, I can't get to half of it as I have a small Tender boat I gave away nearly a year ago, still taking up a substantial part. The person I gave it too, never picked it up, despite several reminders... I am not really sure what to do with it, as it needs some fibreglass work doing so it is not usable at the moment, and I don't think our local tip will let me take it in there.
