Did you call Luke at US Coach?

These are dual voltage LED lights, you'd have to figure out how to mount them. http://www.grote.com/product.php?product_number=62391 (http://www.grote.com/product.php?product_number=62391)

you need two lights, you could use any pair of 12v lamps in series.

If you go with incandescent couldn't you just replace the bulb with a 24 volt one?

You could take that 24 volt source and run it to signal a 24 volt relay that you can use to then run 12 volt thru it to the 12 volt bulbs..

Kinda the same way you can produce a 12 volt source for the trailer light plug on a 24 volt chassis.

I do this to create a 12 volt brake light signal for trailer brake controlers on 24 volt chassis.

You can also wire two 12v light in series. A buddy of mine did that with his 24v airplane landing lights.

Problem is, if one fails they both go our!!
