- profdant139Explorer IISome LED bulbs are hard wired, and some are plug-in. The plastic cover may just slide off. Pro tip: have your wife remove the cover. She is much less likely to bust the plastic tabs than you are. Don't ask how I learned this valuable lesson.
Anyway, once you get the cover off, you will know what kind of LED bulb you have. I've had great luck dealing with M4 -- they are a USA-based company, and they actually answer their emails and will answer technical questions. Their bulbs are not the cheapest, but they are high quality:

Good luck -- let us know how it goes. wildtoad wrote:
Most if not all led fixtures have replaceable bulbs/LED’s.
I've yet to see an OEM LED fixture that has replacement LED modules.
The mostly use a board of LEDs that's hard wired to the fixture.- rlw999ExplorerIf they are discrete bulbs in a socket, then sure, check online and you can find replacements. But you probably wouldn't be asking if they were socketed bulbs that are easily replaced.
My LED lights have surface mount LED's soldered to a circuit board - those LED's are not (easily) replaceable. But flickering LED's sounds more like a driver problem than a bulb problem -- the constant current driver that powers them is probably going bad.
Probably easiest to just replace the entire fixture. - capacitorExplorerOn mine the two lenses slide a 1/4” away from center. The bulbs are bayonet style and pull out.
- Retired_JSOExplorerMost newer RVs have non replaceable bulbs in the can type lights but those non sealed like over the bathroom sink/ dining table may be replaceable.
- FishermanExplorerSome of the lenses just snap off, some take about 1/16 of a turn left or right and come off. The ones I have with the center on/off button switch just pop off.
- wildtoadExplorer IIMost if not all led fixtures have replaceable bulbs/LED’s. Can’t help much on how to replace yours without know what kind. A picture would help.
