when ordering do you have to identify which type of light socket adaptor you need or do they send all three types which show in the sales pic?
Yes I do specify which one, because if you take only the needed adapter it's sell for a cheaper price and you will throw the other to garbage, so what's the point...
FYI, in my Sportsmen all lights inside/outside are #1156 (aka BA15S) bulb size/type. In the bathroom I had a single bulb dome light for the entire bathroom so I installed a large 48-LED panel (5050 SMD) and it's perfect for the bathroom. But this panel was soooooo bright I decided to install smaller 24-LED panels everywhere else and that's perfect! The small 24-LED actually produce 3X time more visible light than conventional halogen. I also install another large 48-LED panel into the outside patio light (w/ amber lens). Moreover the 48-LED panel are very expensive (5.50$ each) when the 24-LED panel are less than 2$ each. But honestly the 48-LED 5050 SMD are just too much it you have a few in a small surface.
BTW shopping for LED dome panel are not that simple! I read A LOT about the LEDs before buying mine. Because there's a LOT of different LED technologies used to build those automotive bulbs. That's why some are cheap and some other are more expensive. The LED model stand for it actual dimension. The brighter LED you can get are the SMD 5050 (the 5050 stand for 5x5 millimetres). The 5050 SMD are the brighter LED available because they also are the biggest SMD yet. Only cons is the 5050 are making more heat, but they are still making like 10X LESS heat than halogen... You can't burn yourself on the LED panel, but it's pretty warm to touch.
