One caveat, you get what you pay for.

Two of the first four LED replacements I purchased failed in short order. I've replaced those and a couple dozen others with bulbs I purchased from Superbright LEDs. In three years now, not a single failure.

BB,

Here's what we used. While we have only about 10 months of using them, we are very happy with their operation. Nice and bright (3W), good natural color. If you scroll down the page, you'll find the 1.5 W for the smaller can lights. Our friends have used these for about a year and love them too. I went with the more expensive LEDs for the bonnet light and all with M4 products. rockin'

go to superbrightleds.com they have a led bulb for just about any application. quality and low cost may not go together. i have purchased several for my halogens and satisfied so far. i also replaced the 1142 bulbs over the island and the wedge base bulbs in the dining table light. i also found some 120 volt leds for my nightlights.

google M4 as they have reversible lites so you do not have to rewire for pos or neg wiring.

Low cost may not be the best way to go. I bought a bunch of cheap LED lights on ebay. Within two weeks, almost half of them had failed. It wasn't the LEDs themselves that failed, but the internal connections were failing.

Next, I bought some from RVLEDBulbs.com - RV LED Bulbs, RV LED Lights and Light Accessories. I paid more, but in almost three years, none have failed. If you go there, use the code "FORUM" at checkout for a 10% discount.

If you have the round puck lights give John Miranda a call, 360-578-0530, at Kaper ll Wheel Simulators and LED lighting and ask if they have anymore on sale. (L19-DD-GL-GL natural white 4500K) Last March I replaced all my round puck fixtures to LEDs for $3.55 ea.
I know this sounds cheap but they are the exact replacement and they work great. KaperII Wheel simulators and Led Lighting

I did a mixture of e-bay, Amazon and other websites that charge more for what appears to be the same product. There may be a difference but so far they have all worked well. I only had one that did not work but I have spares. I'm pretty sure they are all made in China, at least the ones I have are.
