   hi,

 i have a 177 pod. i want to change the interior light bulbs to led's. First how do I get the covers off. Second HOW DO I get the old bulbs out of the sockets?? I tried pulling one and the plastic part that the bulb fits into snapped off. Its still good can glue it back.Last what size led do I get??? I live in Canada but I don't think the size of the led would be different from the US.

thanks for help

	I thought that the 2012 models came standard with LEDs. I guess they don't.

	Nope, LED's didn't become standard until 2014. You squeeze slide then pull the cover away. Hard to explain, easy to do. You need 921 wedge base bulbs. Most used a flat paddle style, 12-20 or so emitters per paddle, soft white, unless you like the operating room look.. then "bright white" It cost us about $15 to do our whole trailer.

	Just pull them out.. they are wedge bases. They don't have any locking lugs etc.. just "stuck" in there.

	Depends on what you buy.. and where. This is a popular option.. link We bought flat panels from eBay, when we did it way back when they were about $1.25 each. Something like this, but only 24 LEDs.. Link2

	Squeeze and slide, I've been trying to get those covers of for a year and no matter how much I squeeze or try to slide the stay firmly in place. What we need is a video 😀
