Replaced both GFCI in the Master Bath


There's two of these near the sinks in the master bath, one on each end.  This one stopped working (GFCI internal failure?).  Since the walls are painted eggshell, it was a good opportunity to upgrade to white outlets/surrounds.
Turned out that the two outlets are on different circuit breakers!  I assumed that making sure that one was out would mean the other would also be out.  But, I was wrong.  Also, the new GFCI I bought, I assumed, would be wired the same way as the old ones that I'm replacing.  Wrong again!  They were wired opposite to the old ones...






Installed screw-less surrounds for a nice clean look.  Turned out pretty nice.  When the GFCI trips, an amber LED comes on.  If there's a wiring fault, a red LED will come on.
