57 Panhead, glad you like the 36 LED boards

I never thought of it before, I don't have wedge base lights, but the wedge lights are probably polarity dependent. The BA15S bases have the positive on the center contact but the contacts on the wedge base are both the same. If the light doesn't work just turn the light over and it should work if I am right.

The polarity was not my problem, the contacts that wrap around the bottom of the wedge needed to be spread out to make contact with the socket contacts, once I figured out what the problem was it was all good. I really love the lights!!

I'm so pleased with them that I just ordered another 10 to finish the trailer.

Same with me but my total LED (36 panel as well) count is now 27 including outdoor and storage lights. This upgrade, along with the electronic ignition for the stove / oven, are my top two from this forum.
Great topic!

I got my 36 LED boards today and tested them in one of my foixtures. I think they will work. Need to order 19 more to convert all of them over now. Thanks for the tip!

TenBear beat me to it. It's a bit tricky for the oven but once setup correctly works great.
