LED light replacement

I just replaced 10 of our 1156 light bulbs with LED bulbs, another 20 to go. This is an expensive conversion, anyone have a source that is cheaper than $24.95 each?

Hi Bigdog,
DW and I do a lot of dry camping and the regular bulbs will drain our coach batteries very fast, hence he need to swap to LEDs, but if I was like you hand hooked to shore power, I would not be swapping either.

I bought 10 of these just to try them out. I have now bought a total of 30 and have changed all my bulbs with some spares left over. I know some will say to stay away from the cheap ones like this but They work great and for the price I just don't think there is downside. they generate zero heat and about exactly the same brightness as the conventional bulbs I replaced. I lied though. There is a slight downside. Shipping was very slow.
