Does anyone know what type of bulb is a 92J or 3X18W? I looked at mine and read this is the type to replace with but cant find any info on them. I wanted to replace with leds but need to find a reference numbrt that matches, any info would be great.

It doesn't matter, there really isn't any reference as there are thousands of LEDs which will work, but maybe 3 you'd actually be able to see with.

All you really need is the type of base, and the voltage.

the bulb itself slides straight out and is all glass with a wire on each side of glass base, someone must know what the name of these bulbs are?

The bulb you have is a Xenon 18 watt, 12 volt, wedge base T-5 or T-8 base lamp.

Finlee - where are you wanting to use the replacment LEDs. Alot of the RV trailers use either the 921 or 1141 bulbs. There is a ton of info on here about changing over to LEDs. It has alot of info available to you for which LEDs to use.

My suggestion is only order ONE LED replacemnt and try it out before jumping in there and spending $150 to find out they dont work like you want. There are a couple of rules to follow - one is it must be in the 250 and higher LUMEN rating to be as bright as your 921 bulb and also you probably want to use WARM WHITE to about the same color of light that the 921 bulb produces. If you purchase the board replacement type that have built-in regulators on them you may experience RFI issues that will knock out your HDTV and NOAH Wx Radio receptions especially when you are using the OTA outside antennas.

Read up on the many posted article here for LEDs before buying something.

My Posts are IMHO based on my experiences - PM me
