Has anyone experience with these?
Thanks,

I was able to pull down the spots, they are a Halogen fitting. I would have the whole light, I am not going to bother with these.
I was unable to get the cover off the shower one, but did not want to break it either. I will call Winnebago about this.

Help converting Itasca Latitude bulbs to LED
For the recessed lights, you can just buy new LED fixtures for very little cost. You’ll be far better off than trying to find a properly sized LED light to fit into a fixture designed for halogen. In any event, get rid of the halogen. They generate too damn much heat, and are simply dangerous on an RV or a boat. Search for “RV led puck light” and “Facon RV light” You’ll find easy to install units in 3” and 4.5” size.
For that shower light, try turning the plastic cover. It may have internal pins and notches which, when aligned, allow the cover to slip right off.

For the puck light (in the pic with the switches) try using a stiff business card or credit card and slide between the bezel and the cabinet surface, then push up and turn. (will also help free those puck lights that have fabric or upholstery under them (ceiling lights)
Got our LED's at batteries bulbs & more.

Hi,
I got the shower light cover off. It took a 1156 LED.
I am not so worried about the puck ones as have plenty of other lights in the coach.
I still have 6 vanity globes to replace but at 17$ each I will wait for a sale.
