I've looked into it but...
There's just nothing to be gained.
The bulbs cost a lot more. Particularly if you are replacing bulbs that still work.
Since your engine is running and alternator is making power while you are using these lights, the reduced current draw of the LED's is a non factor.
I've replaced nearly all the interior lighting in our rig with LED's, some of it twice (looking for just the right combination) Hope of course is to reduce the load on the batteries when boondocking, stretch the time we can go without running the genny.
Exterior and running lights and such, just nothing to be gained there.
