Better bathroom lighting

My wife is not happy with the lighting from our 4bulb light bar. We have a 2012 Journey and I would like to know if changing to an led bulb would help make things brighter. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

There are brighter replacement bulbs.
I dont know the size/type offhand, but they have been covered here in the past.
Hopefully somebody will chime in, we could use them too.

I don't know about LED's but on a previous coach that I owned, I switched out the 12v bulbs and sockets to 120v on the light bar. It only worked when I was on shore power but at that time, that's all I ever was on.

YES. YES. YES. I changed my 3 bulb bar because DW wasn't getting enough light. I bought 3 250 lumens bright white LED and put them in. Another job well done. She's happy.

We looked at all of the LED vendors today, and the only bright warm white Vanity lamp we saw was THIS one made by Starlights. There may be others, but not here.

This is what I put in. I replaced the bulbs with these LEDS My DW likes the look and loves the extra bright light. Many other LED lights are the warm light and just aren't bright enough like 120v bulbs. These are the only 12v LEDs that put a ole on her face.
