- gfs1943ExplorerI ordered this set from Amazon. I have replaced the bulbs in one light in the bathroom hallway in our motor home. These are quite a bit brighter than the original fluorescent bulbs.
I still have two LED bulbs on hand, but I have four more lights I want to replace so I need to order a couple more sets of these. I'm pleased with the light output. - JerryDTExplorer

I used M4 LED bulbs. I removed the ballasts and altered the wiring according to their detailed instructions and am very happy with the result. A little more expensive than strips but it was easy and works well. JMHO - wa8yxmExplorer IIII just did mine like D E Bishop did, Strips, a total of 5 Meters of LED's (for under 10 bucks on Amazon)
One thing I did differnt is cut the lights apart always at the solder pads but cut in a "Chair" pattern (Up to mid point of strip then between the Positive and Negative pads and then up to the top)
That way on one end I had all negative pads
On the other end all positive
So I just ran a bare "Bus bar" type jumper up the pads.. I had just three other places. I do not have a LO-HI, only high.
Finished my last unit over the weekend on the 3 I have.
A techician I know also uses the 5 meter strips but by bending and doubling back he does not need jumpers at all. I really like the results. - Bill_SatelliteExplorer IIThere are now LED replacement "tubes" that look like and act like your existing setup but they may not be designed for your 12V system.
