new2th4me Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Does anyone know how to replace the running board lights!! In the last 6 months, I've had to replace 2 out of 4, and not #3 is out! Each time it cost me about $100 to replace 1 light!!! thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Chow Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 How much does your dealer charge for the replacement bulb alone? I was thinking of ditching the running boards and installing sliders after the lights die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2th4me Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 They want $75 for the light alone! Is it a bulb? When only 1 light on the side goes out, gives the care a "broken" look.... Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? There are two kinds of lights on the boards. One is the long ones you see from the side that light to top surface. Another are small round ones on the bottom that illuminate the ground. I presume the $75 bulb is for the long, top ones? $25 for installation isn't bad. The manual shows that the bulbs are just as long as you see in the lights, but the impression I get is you might have to remove the running board to change the bulb. My dealer charges a minimum 0.5 hrs to do anything, so that would be $47.50 in labor vs. $25 for your dealer. I would go w/ sliders painted to match the vehicle on the tube part and black on the flat part. They will actually protect the vehicle body if you offroad, but no whiz-bang look like the OEM boards. http://www.sleeoffroad.com/products/UZJ_sliders_main.htm (P/N SOF1061) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
