## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE PERFORMING AN INTERNAL GENERAL VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE PASSENGER DOOR FOR ZONAL TASK 823, THE AME FOUND ALL 4 OF THE AIRSTAIR LIGHT ASSEMBLIES WITH SIGNIFICANT CORROSION ON THE BACKSHELL.  WHEN REMOVED FOR A CLOSER INSPECTION, THE CORROSION FOUND HAD EXTENDED IN CERTAIN SPOTS RT THROUGH THE OUTER CASING REVEALING FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL CIRCUIT BOARD CONNECTIONS.  ALL 4 LED STAIR LIGHT ASSEMBLIES SN: 1642072, 1642077, 1642084 AND 1642097 WERE R & R.  THE LED AIR STAIR LIGHTS ARE MFG AND WERE INSTALLED ON THIS ACFT UNDER SUPPLEMENTAL TYPE CERTIFICATE APPROVAL, SA08-70, ISSUE 1 ON JULY 1ST, 2010 IAW TYPICAL AMM PROCEDURES FOR WIRING CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATION IN THE PREVIOUSLY EXISTING LOCATION ON THE AIRSTAIR DOOR.
