Hello. I’m looking for some input on replacing the 1141 bulbs in my 5th wheel interior lights to LED. What do you suggest ?...Thanks in advance.

M4Products. Not the cheapest, but probably the best.
I used These natural white Elite model But If I did it again I would use these Natural White Elite2 as they are even brighter, not the the ones I bought are not bright enough, butttt I like light.
I also like natural white, no color to it, not warm yellow, not cold blue but just pure white. I have been buying bulbs in Home Depot for the house and the kelvin numbers do not match the color at all. In those I ended up with cold white to get something that wasn't yellow or blue.
This is the third RV I have use M4Products LEDs in. I actually prefer the plate lights and when I do use them, I do away with the sockets and hardwire them in the fixture, but the present fixtures would need to have new flat metal plates made to replace the domed plates and I didn't feel like doing that (did just that on the motorhome, but was a lot of work) The plate lights put all the light in the right direction, down, with the lens dispersing a little to the sides, and the plate lights have the circuitry on a separate plate from the LEDS so they can better dissipate heat.
24 element plate light, good and bright
and 48 element plate light, super bright
By the way, the trailer I bought already had LEDs in it, but they were 1) warm white, and 2) el cheapos that already had LED elements burning out in them due to no heat sinks.
I saved a couple of them that still had all the elements working, and put them in the storage compartment fixtures since they don't get used very often.
