I know this has been discussed before but I am looking for a source of these DUAL filament bulbs - 25W Low and 50W high.

It is rediculous to pay $48.00 for the whole lighting assembly when only the bulb is bad.

They do offer just the bulb for $18.00 but that is robbery.

Someone had to make these bulbs for WW

The bulb has H3 12V50/25W written on it

Has anyone found a source other than the few WW parts dealers?

They have them here Clicky

I don't think you will find them in many other places, these seem to be kind of unusual.

If you don't fear a little wiring do an internet search for H3 12V bulb.

I haven't ordered from any of these guys but 12V wiring isn't very complicated, basically a positive and a ground. There is no reason to have a dual filament 25/50w bulb, it's got to be running one or the other. Unless you actually have a 2 way switch (like the high/low circuit on a car) that activates both sides. (I've never seen one on an RV but I haven't known everything since I was 18).

I'm in the same boat, just lucky enough that the original bulbs still work.

Don't take life too seriously, it's not permanent.

My 2006 WW used single element H3 bulbs. I replaced them with automotive 55w models although the leads were shorter. They now make H3 LED replacements with 60+ SMD elements that take a fraction of the power of the halogens. They are a little less bright, but put out a whiter light that illuminates well. Even on battery power, you can run these for hours without worry.

I found a the source in Pomona,CA.It took me a lot of time to source these.

I received my bulbs from Giant RV @ $16.00 per bulb + S&H.... So about $21.00 per bulb! They put a $16 sticker over one that has $8.00.

The place I found is most likely the same place that sold the whole flood light assemnbly to Weekend Warrior.They were $7.50 + S&H. I orderd 5 so that put me at $10.37 per bulb. I figured since they were prompt with replying to my inquiry, I would order the bulbs and just keep them in the RV. who know when they will quit making them.

The company is:

JF Manufacturing Corp
2734 Thompson Creek Rd., Ste A
Pomona, CA 91767

909-392-0822 (I corresponded with Willy, via email)

www.eagleeyelights.com (search 90607 bulbs)

Mine as well as most WW 5th wheels should have the hi/ lo on the side floods. I have 3 on the side and 2 blew out on the last camping trip.

If you searched H3 dual filament bulbs, you will never find them. You have to search for the flood light model number, that's how I was able to find them.

At least it's on here for reference now. No need in paying more than double for a light bulb!..... even though I did through my search. Hopefully this will help others out.
