New LED lights for an old Jayco

The courtesy lights on my old Jayco had long since burned out and direct replacements were impossible to locate. The originals were incandescent bulbs glued into a plastic housing screwed in place throughout the trailer. The housings were all melted to some degree so I was looking for an improved lighting option. LED lights seemed like the likely answer but my local RV store had nothing useful in stock and the catalog showed some very expensive lights that just didn't suit me.

So while shopping for a 20 ton jack at the local farm and ranch supply store I spotted my solution. single LED bulbs in a 3/4 inch round housing PERFECT! They are from Custer Products part #CPL1W. I bought the white ones but they come in red and amber too. They wired up quickly and slipped effortlessly into the existing holes. And the price was a fraction of the price at the RV store.
  • I put LEDs on the back of mine to replace the tail/stop lights. My son was behind me at night and said "They sure are bright"! I wish I could afford more for my trailer.
  • I just went a got a couple of the LED amber clearance lights to replace a similar problem lamp.
