I can't see the point of replacing the marker lights. I don't know if they are brighter, but it's hard for me to believe that people can see the markers without seeing my TC.
Obviously, bulbs of any type can fail and I'd rather have similar parts readily available. BTW, there is a similar kind of argument for LED boat lights. Each failure is way more expensive to fix. If you are starting from scratch, it might make sense to replace fixtures, but even then it is questionable if you make any significant improvements.
Just changing a bulb to LED for the markers just seems like expensive exercise, but hey, everyone needs hobbies. :)
You're missing the most important point. Many RV's have had serious and expensive damage due to water intrusion. The lens on a regular clearance light is not sealed and can leak. LED's are sealed and when installed properly, may prevent delamination or other water damage. That's the only reason I'm replacing mine.
