I'm looking for some 1142 base if anyone finds them, have one more fixture we use a lot that has them and I can't find the proper LED, two positive conductors on the bottom with offset pins.

Every reference I see to an 1142 is that it's a BA15D base, not BAY15D

BAY15D has offset pins, and two pins on the bottom, I've never seen that type of base used in an RV light fixture, other than a tail light. The "Y" = offset side pins, and dual brightness, like an 1157.

A 1076 style bulb is the same as 1142, both have a BA15D base, one pin on the bottom is positive, one is negative.

1076 / 1142 LED with BA15D base

Something isn't sounding right about your bulb being an 1142 and having offset side pins, because 1142s have the side pins at the same level according to everything I see on the interwebz, and one pin is negative, the other is positive.

I was going from memory on the offset pins, will have to pull one out again. I see what you mean after checking on ebay, the 1142 pins look to be inline.

Since this is an overhead light, used for cooking, cleaning, etc. I want something pretty white, not yellow or blueish, what "temperature" do I need? I saw someone say under 5500 I think.

Looking around I havent found a LED with a 5000 rating only 6000-6500 which is about as close to white as you can get. The next rating down is 3000-3500 which has a more yellow tint.
