LED Marker Conversion Question

I'm sure this has been asked in the past, but I can't seem to find it.
I am attempting to replace my marker lights on my 5th wheel trailer with LEDs. They are command AP2-00 style. I went to camping world with the intention of buying the complete assembly and cutting/splicing them in. While at CW I found a lens conversion with the light built into the lens that plugs into the existing light plug. Snap it on and go. The thing is that they are Bargman brand and I can't seem to find the same easy conversion in the Command brand.
Does anyone know if Command makes anything like that or any other ideas? I emailed Command, but being Saturday I may not here back from them until Monday.
Worse case is that I have to wire them in like I originally planned.
Thanks
  • I was able to find some replacement 'bulbs' with the same base, and 9 tiny 5050 LED emitters on them.

    AliExpress.com Then search for 5050 LED lights. Refine that search by the base type, and then check by lowest price first. You normally get a bunch of results where you need to buy a lot of 500 or so, keep going down the list or to the next page, and find a quanity of 10 or so. I bought 20 and they are 9 LED on the correct base. So I removed the 3 watt bulbs and installed ones that barely draw any power at all! I think it takes about 60 of the LED's to make 1 amp, or 6-8 bulbs for 1 amp.

    Good luck!
