| I've searched and can't find this. It must be simple but I'm having trouble removing the light bulb from the socket. I've pushed up on the little wedge and tried to pull the bulb out of the surrounding box but it won't pull out. Any suggestions? |

Which light bulbs are you trying to remove the interior or exterior. The interior lights I think they should slide out of the their sockets by pulling on them. If they are stuck you will need to be careful the bulb doesn't break but I think if you wiggle it, should slide out. Our pod is a 2009 the lights may have changed at some time with the newer pods.

I believe all the pods still use the 921's like yours and mine use. When I replaced mine I had to wiggle them, as you suggested. Bob ------------- 2014 R-Pod 178 (OUR POD) 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche |

| Where might I find the 921 replacements in LEDs at a reasonable price? |

All I can say , you get what you pay for. I paid 15$ a piece 3 years ago, have not had any problems. ------------- If you want something done right, do it yourself. 2011 RP172, 2016 Tundra 5.7 Litre, Ltd. |

I purchased these (from China) about a year ago, and haven't had any problems - been out about 8 weeks ... at $20+ for 10x units you cant beat the price. The large 12x LED is equivalent to the incandescent lamps IMO. The gap in the lamp allows for cooling.

Here's a USA(?) version which I think might be better quality at a higher price ... Needs 921 adapters. http://www.lightmalls.com/g4-12-leds-smd-5050-warm-white-light-led-car-lights - http://www.lightmalls.com/g4-12-leds-smd-5050-warm-white-light-led-car-lights **** I just ordered qty 2 from lightmalls as backup .... It ships from CHINA.... Oh well. ------------- Bill & Bev 13 yr old dachshund 'Elsa' 2010 RP-176T (tent & slide-out) 2011 Toyota Tundra 2WD TV |

Bill-Ga I got mine from china also and have 2.5 seasons on them with no problem, they are a little bluer than I care for but I only use them in the bunk areas, the bathroom , the exterior light and both lights over the dinette. I keep the center lights and over the stove incandescent as I think the light is a little brighter and needed for the work area. ------------- Dane and Donna Smith 2011 RP-172 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4X4 lift kit prodigy wireless brake controller |
