LED lights

Just bought our 2001 DS gasser & in process of changing out the lights to LED...
Found some soft white (4,000k) for the overhead lights...
I found some broken insulators in the sockets so bought some new sockets & used the new insulators on the existing overhead sockets...

I have an overhead dinette fixture that uses two regular 12 volt bulbs...
Any recommendations for a source for these 12v bulbs??
Thanks,
Bob

Also look at: M4 Products

They specialize in RVs

I have changed many of my interior bulbs and wanted to change out my tail lights. There is a replacement LED bulb for them but I have been told they will not work properly and will "blink" fast when using the turn signal. I am told my 2002s electric system for the tail lamps is not heady duty enough? Huh - I thought LEDs used less electricity.
