Purchased all of my LED bulbs on e-bay from China for a fraction of the price from local RV dealers. They do buy china made LED's, since none are made in the US.

So far, purchased 30-35 Bulbs with only one failure and all are still working 2 years later.
In addition to the number of LEDs, the type of LED is important. The 3528 (1210) and the 5050 are commonly used. The 5050 has 3 LEDs in the same package and is about 2x as bright as the 3528. It also draws about 2x the current.
