Check Amazon, I just saw LED 1141's for about $1.50 each
be sure to look close and buy ones that are marked for a voltage Range like 12v - something higher. (the ones I use are not the same base, but they are rated 12v-28v)
The ones marked 12V will run pretty hot when powered by a campers internal system that is charging the batteries at 13.8 volts or so. I have even seen threads of people burning some of the 12v ones at camper voltages.
Also look at color. 5000K is real white, almost blue and I feel has bad glare. I changed out the "white" ones in my Wolf Creek with 3500K. now they are a little more yellow like the old incandescent bulbs.
