replacement LED bulbs

· Posted: 18.12.2014 · #1

HI all - looking to reduce power usage so im looking at replacing internal bulbs - the main light has 2 x car type 12v bulbs - looking at ebay they appear to be b15s or possibly b15d - there are others too. Anyone know what fitting they are known as and how many smd dots are required to be bright enough to replace the originals ?

Hi

take a look at this site and you should be able to see what it is you want

http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/LED-Car-Bulbs-c-1337//

I have not purchased any of their bulbs so cannot say anything about the quality of the LEDs but I would suggest that you do not buy LEDs off EBAY as my experience of the one I purchased they are poor and quickly failed.

I have found on this product cheap is not worth it, I am sure that you find someone who can suggest someone with connections to MHC who can supply if you don't use the above people

I replaced the 12v 1156 bulbs in our camper.

Here's what we did...
