...Also where is a place that I can find LEDs to replace all the lights? What sizes are needed?
I've been running lights from www.ledtrailerlights.com for a number of years and like them. They now have a lifetime warranty too, and are a supplier in the US - which means it's easier to deal with rather than some ebay seller overseas.
I ordered 20 LED lights at 89 cents each Sold in packs of 10 at $8.90 each), including shipping from Asia (where they are all manufactured). I see no reason to go through a US distributor that will only buy them from the same suppliers in Asia, mark them up 900%, and sell them with a "lifetime warranty". If they were manufactured in the U.S. providing additional jobs in the U.S., then I'd be seriously considering these much pricier bulbs.
To compare: they are selling a single 15 LED bulb for $9.95 plus $9.95 shipping, with a total price of $19.90 each bulb.
Now, to be fair, the shipping cost for this place would be $13.05 for 10 bulbs, with a total cost of $113.45. To compare: Amazon will sell what I think is a better bulb for 89 cents compared to these guys for $11.35 each: that almost 13 times the price! This is a mark-up of 1,175% ....

To recap: LED bulbs are good, are all manufactured in Asia, and I support manufacturers of goods manufactured in North America. :)
