Yes, I have done this by replacing the fixtures.
In hindsight, did not anticipate that the life of the "replacement" LED fixtures was not going to be as long as advertised.. Have had 6 out of 12 fixtures quit after only a couple of yrs. Keeping in mind that I only get to use my RV only 2 weeks a yr, that is a pretty poor life.. Even more irritating was the fact that I spent more than double for the LED fixtures over what new incadescent fixtures cost at the time.
If you already have GOOD fixtures with good lenses, I would highly recommend just replacing the incadescent bulbs with LED bulbs.
Plenty of decent aftermarket LED bulbs to choose from now days and the cost is pretty cheap. Get amber LED bulbs for amber fixtures and red LED bulbs for the red fixtures for the most brightness impact.
I would have to disagree with JIMNLIN, I WANT my RV to be able to be seen from the ISS in space.. There are way too many idiots now days on the road paying more attention and playing with their "iphones". Absolutely no one can say that they "never seen" my rig..
