    Over counter pendant lights

    Once again replaced a bulb (automotive 1076) in the hanging pendant lights in our 2014 303. First of all, my hand will barely it into the globe, secondly I have to file down the contacts on the bulbs so the bayonet tangs will engage. So a number of test filings later, I finally get the bulb to fit. I have done this countless times. Anyone else have this problem, and did you replace the fixture with an LED unit?

    They make 1076 warm white LED bulbs. Maybe try them before changing out the whole fixture.

    We also have the '14 303 . We put the LED bulbs in the pendant without changing fixtures as Steve mentioned above. They have been used plenty without having to replace the bulbs in the 4 years they've been in.

    We have these same pendant lights in our 2015 303. Agreed that the bulbs are difficult to get out and back in. At a GDRV Rally a couple of years ago, we discovered LED bulbs marketed by RV LED Lites https://rvledlites.com. They have a two part LED bulb that fits. Called their "1076 Base Stack". This allows you to select warm LEDs for the upper section (seen through the globe) and cool white for the LEDs that shine down on to the island work surface. These have been working well for us, for 3 years now.
