12" LED cabin light is awesome. After 40 years of searching for stuff in the dark, I can see!

Purchased 2, love them. Put one in my'89 tin top Wolfsburg Westfalia Carat, it's like daylight. Put the other one in my '85 Wolfsburg / weekender, When I installed this one I fished in a wire to the rear cabinet and spliced into the wiring for the "reading light" so I can add a 12" LED at the rear hatch. It is low profile, and will be awesome! Been looking for a light like this for decades...

Easy installation & great addition to my cabin! 1 thing I would prefer is I'm a 5k kind of Electrician, so I would prefer an andjustable Kelvin scale on the fixture. Comes in 4k. The rest of my LED's in the cabin are 5k, more of a natural lighting look you see outside.
Other than that, sleek & effective lighting!

It works fine once you remember that polarity matters with led lights! So if it doesn’t work at first switch your wires around and try it.

My complaint is that it is just a generic led light fixture. The wires go into the fixture from the end so you need to drill a new hole to feed it into the space where the vans wires live. Then you need to fish them out through the big hole so you can make the connections to the wires that fed the old fixture. Then stuff them all back in and **** 5he new fixture in place. The original fixture was wired through a hole inside the case so no wires were visible. The new one has the wires exposed from the end of the fixture to the hole you drilled to insert the wires. Also, you’ll need to drill a new hole for the mounting screws. They don’t line up either.

I bought the 16" model to use in my 1999 Winnebago Eurovan Camper. I'm sure it works for some people's uses but it totally failed in my attempted install. As the wire leaves the lamp both leads are encased in a single sleeve and the leads coming my van are split one coming out of each side of the hole in the trim with a piece of metal in between them. I can't stuff the wire leaving the lamp up in the hole there is nowhere for it to go. Be careful with polarity, as well. The old lamp specified that it was wired black/positive and white/negative. The GoWesty product specifies red/positive and black/negative. No, I would not buy this product to replace the fluorescent light in a 1999 Winnebago Eurovan Camper.

Worked great in my 1997 EuroVan. A huge upgrade!

Had to drill new holes, but it looks and functions great!

I ordered the wrong part! The 12-inch LED strip with adapter will not work in my 2002 Eurovan with Winnebago conversion. Go Westy refunded the full purchase price (minus shipping) soon after I returned the part.
I then ordered the part I needed: the 16.5-inch LED strip. It came within days. Stay tuned for results, which could push this review to a five.
But so far I can say I'm glad somebody is providing parts and upgrades for my Eurovan. I'd replace it if any manufacturer were making anything like it -- but they're not, so my only choice is to keep this aging Swiss-Army-knife-of-a-vehicle on the road, and Go Westy is helping me do that.

Very straightforward installation. We coupled this with the 16.5" cabin light strip, and honestly, it's almost too much light (-: Not complaining. Very low profile, and we enjoy the ability to use the dimmer—a very appreciative upgrade to the van.

The one negative is that the power button is backlit and displays a cute little VW van when lit. The backlight, even when the main cabin light is off, cannot be turned off once activated. It's on a multi-hour timer. We've painted over the buttons to prevent the bright red glow from keeping us up at night.

As described, though the instructions didn’t exactly match the fixture I was replacing

Haven’t installed yet. But looks great !

Perfect fit for my 1993 Eurovan MV. It took a small modification to existing cover to expose the switch. Much brighter than the original fluorescent tubes.

There were no instructions with the new LED interior light. And when attempting to install it I found the electrical wiring from the existing light extremely limited in length. I am stumped. I may be sending the light back.

A nice quality light; I mounted it over the stove in a 1987
Westy to supplement the original light instead of replacing it.

i was unaware that my van needed a backing plate for the LED lights. So, to order the backing plates I have to pay shipping again. Also, the backing plates are unavailable

very bright and great dimming control. Excellent upgrade to stock light.

Nice addition. Provides plenty of white light and maybe a little too bright in the 'red light' function. Maybe provide attachable (sticky) cellophane layers to add and adjust the brightness level.

I added the light directly below the original 4" light fixture and attached the 12" light wires directly to the existing connections on the 4" light fixture. Clean fit with a small hole drilled into the body metal below the original 4" light allowing the wires on the new 12" light to pass through to the existing wiring. Clean fit.

LED cabin light

Installed it above the sliding door so I don't have to get inside to turn on the stock light above the sink/stove.

Just installed the bar light and the button stays lit, is that normal?

GoWesty

Hi AK Westy! The backlit light stays on for ten hours, then automatically shuts off. We programmed it this way to ensure it would be visible during the night in case you need to turn the light on in the dark. Cheers!

Will this mask/ cover the space of the old three bulb fixture? I have a 85 Westfalia GL. I am living with it with LED's and no cover and looking for the curved plastic cover or replacing it.

GoWesty

It's not as wide, but it will cover all the holes from the original fixture. You may need to scub off any dirt inprint the original LED leaves behind.
