Anything special for changing the interior lights to LED?  Is it just a bulb swap?

Anyone have a source for the led bulbs?

These have been pretty good and for only 2.38/bulb a good value.  Purchase 10 and get free
shipping, another good deal.  Have had these for almost 2 years, no problems.  We normally dry camp and it is good to know that you are using less battery running all your interior lights (if they are L.E.D.'s) than running only 1 of the stock bulbs that come with the pod.  Warning - don't try to take the stock bulbs out if they have been on for very long, they will burn your fingers!

I got all of mine from Superbriteled.com and really happy with them.
I am not computer smart so I can not do links or anything like that. I used 194 LED 10 SMD LED Wedge Base in the Warm White, it puts out the same amount of light that the original bulbs do with the same color. This is a side mount disc type bulb. Above the bed I wanted a little less light so I used a couple of 5 led bulbs that I had picked up at a truck stop years ago, they are cool white in color.
For the outside porch light I bought a 1156 LED single intensity 18 SMD LED tower bayonet base bulb in cool white, from superbriteled.com.
   They all have worked well so far. Goose
PS. With Superbrite you can pick them up at their warehouse in Earth City, Mo. which is just outside of St Louis.

Ditto on Superbright. I used the warm white in the trailer except about the galley area.
Installed cool white lights in the galley area. Changed out all the exterior lights to led except
2 red side lights  in which the lens and bulb did not have enough clearance.
enjoy the fresh air

mtbmitch I know what you are saying about not enough clearance for the lens cover, first I used a 1 LED bulb in the side marker lights but was not really happy with the brightness. I finally changed out all of the side marker lights with a 12 led marker light. Goose

Don't know a lot about LEDs, but trying to learn. Prices seem all over the place!

I came across these from a You-Tubed video. Any reason *not* to use something like this. Price is right!


Thanks!

Nearly identical to what I posted in my last post EXCEPT be careful that the plug will fit in the receptacle , the one you posted doesn't appear to have the correct end.
