oops, no. I missed that. Oh well.
Might be worth a try to contact the seller and see if they can sub a warm white one for you. Can't hurt. Otherwise your test is going to be off and your money well spent on the right one, IMO.
Received the $5 one from 2011_LED today ( not bad, 8 days shipped from China ). At 1st, they all worked, then after about 10 mins, 3 of the LED's stopped working. Then 3 more LED's started blinking, then stopped working:
Before the 6 stopped working, they look pretty good ( left one is LED, right is reg bulb )

Well that stinks.
Sorry they didn't work out for ya'. Is it safe to ASSume that the voltage was below 15?
So...haven't read this whole thread yet, but thought LEDs would be the way to go to save power when boondocking. I've got quite a few fixtures with 921s in em and a couple with 1156. I'd like some LEDs that look like incandescant lights and have about the same light output as my stock bulbs. What is a good LED? I don't want Chinese******that starts going out right away like a recent poster.
And whats this about LEDs running real hot? I thought they'd be cooler than the incandescant bulbs.
Are there any voltage concerns when replacing stock bulbs with LEDs?
Thanks.

They do run cooler but are still warm to the touch. If you want to spend the bucks for good LED's look no further than LEDtrailerlights.com. You'll pay 3 times more but these are great quality LEDs. I have quite a few of these in my 5er and they put out excellent light. They also have voltage regulators and can be used from 10-30V. When looking for LEDs, always make sure they state "warm white" if you want the incandescent look. They have 252 lumen 921's there which are equal to your standard 921's. They used to have 300 lumen 921's which are noticeably brighter than the OEM 921's.
EDIT: They also have 1156/1141 bulbs.

I would also recommend the warm white led's from ledtrailerlights.com
I replaced most of my bulbs with their led's last summer and this spring I replaced the rest of them.
48 LED panels, 190 Lumens, $3.29 each w/free shipping in warm white.
I'll see how they work out brightness/longevity wise. I plan on only replacing a few of the incandescent lights with LEDs at a time, and then when we are boondocking, we will use the fixtures with the LEDs installed.
