Hey guys, I just figured I would post up some pics of these new LEDs I installed. I got them for dry camping. Though I like how bright they are and I like the white color they throw off better than the yellow standard bulbs.
there not cheap as many of you guys know allready. They cost 20$ a peice. I replaced one bulb out of 2 in 4 of my overhead lights. this way I can toggle the led on and off.
here are some pics.
I bought them from jake over at www.v-leds.com they have LED lights for pretty much every bulb in your RV or car. If you order something please tell them I refered you. Thanks Shawn P.
I used there 1156 AMBER led on the outside. Its not as bright at the 48 white SMT leds but it works for what I needed.

I hardly ever dry camp, and have replaced maybe 3 of my incandescent bulbs in the past 3 years for a cost of $2.00 total. Verses $200.00 or more if I replaced all my light fixtures with LED's. And the incandescent lights are a color thats warmer than the ice blue LCD's.

Thanks for the info, pictures and link.
I would like two LED tail lights and one white light for above the dinette, can't stand the 12v florescent light.
I have installed 2 propane gas lights that work real nice for boondocking.

Man you got ripped off. I got the 912's off of eBay in Hong Kong for $3ea + $6 shipping. I looked at all the LED website's I could find on Google and of course, good ol 'ebay rang in first.

Cool, I did the same thing. The difference is that your lights have twice as many led's in them than mine and I paid $20 each at Pep Boys. Mine are bright enough for us......... so far. Good job!
