G'day,
I thought I'd pass these on to you guys as they are a bargain from Amazon at $12.96:

As you can see they are sold by Camping Connection 866-576-8171. They only offer normal shipping and I wanted them shipped quicker
so I called them. They noted they would ship them any way I wanted so I ordered 12 bulbs (I needed 11 for Double Trouble plus 1
spare). They noted that since I was ordering 12 directly from them they didn't have to pay Amazon their cut and reduced the price by
$1.00!
Here's a link to the bulbs at Camping World:

They are on sale at the moment for $16.18. The ad notes that they are normally priced at $36.29, HOWEVER, that's BS as I know they
were selling them for $24.95 when I bought the ones for Double Trouble from Camping Connection. They're out of stock anyway!
These bulbs fit into the OEM sockets and create a nice looking square bright patch in the center of the light. The light they put
out is white and VERY bright. I put them in Double Troubles bathroom / shower and it brighter and much more pleasant than the
incandescent bulbs.
You have to modify the OEM fixtures to make them fit, however. The sockets need to be pulled down a bit so the flat led mounting
printed circuit board can be turned and not hit the fixture. When you do that you MUST put a screw through the hole in the rivet
that attaches the bulb socket to the fixture or the socket will come off in your hand when you try to pull it down; you can figger
out how I know that!
Regards,
Rob M.
