What replacement bulbs am I looking for?
Hey forum, My girlfriend and I have are living in a 33ft Nomad Travel Trailer. I believe the year is 1988. I have attached a photo for reference. We bought the trailer a few months ago and renovate...

400% Mex import tax on Chinese items, yes, but if you bring it with you from another trip North, they don't care - too much - whether it's made in China or not, and besides, there is an exemption on the first $75 PER PASSENGER. So if you and your friend both go North and then back to Mex, you can bring $150 tax free.
Also, there is a good US store: http://www.commandelectronics.com/led_bulbs.html
Your "old" bulbs, whether 1141 and 1156, have same BA15s base, only the wattage slightly differs between the two.
In LED, the biggest problem (besides unpredictable Chinese quality) is - unknown color. You get 6 bulbs and 1 or 2 may have slightly different shade, even though all 6 are supposed to be the same "warm white". Still, pay attention to color temperature in specs. Warm White or color temperature 2700-3500K is - usually - the shade close to that of your old bulb. Bright White or Cool White and higher K number means farther from yellowish and closer to bluish.
