Replacing Halogen bulbs with LED

Has anyone replaced their halogen interior bulbs with LED lights?
I have 9 interior bulbs with the marking "T906 4K" in my 2015 Jayco 165rb and want to go with brighter LED.

Looking for any suggestions or tips on brand or size/brightness of replacement LED's?


Thanks

I've replaced all the interior halogen and incandescent bulbs, upwards of 35 bulbs, in my 2012 39' Designer. I ended up with a dark interior as I struggled to learn that the indicated brightness, i.e. lumens, was mostly a marketing ruse, especially for 12v bulbs. But that was nearly three years ago and LEDs were poorly marked and expensive. I have since replaced all the original LED's with brighter versions and of course, have brought the power demands to a quarter or less of the original 2012 camper.
My suggestion is to pull out one of each style base of the existing incandescent bulbs and try one LED replacement to insure it is bright enough.
Purchase the rest as you determine what is acceptable and buy one more as a backup replacement. They last a long time or until they prematurely fail.

I replaced all the 12v lights in the camper with LED's as well about 4 years ago and not 1 has failed yet. It took a few tries to get the correct brightness/soft white light but I've been really happy with them. Got them off Amazon and they're plug and play. They were GRV something but I can't remember. 2/3's less power.

LED’s are a good choice. I replaced my halogen bulbs with LED’s and have no complaints.

We have put in LED's and are experiencing failures every few months. They are a lot brighter but longevity is not good for us.

LED's

Clutch X-2 Replaced all mine with LED a few years back and have had to replace approx 1/2 of them. They will start flickering and before long they go. Don't camp a lot now so its not a problem. Just replacing them with the standard bulb when they blow.

We have replaced all of the bulbs on the inside and outside of our 2014 with 3 different bulb types. These fit ours, but may or may not fit yours. All of the bulbs have worked well, but we have only had them for about 6 months. I read a lot of reviews before I settled on these bulbs.

These are Amazon links.

I just know how to replace a light bulb. Do you want to know? I think knowing how to replace your RV light bulbs is important, especially considering how few the light sources are when out camping.
