Received the new LED order and am satisfied. These are the ones I ordered the second time around from Yita Motor:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...D1152163723470

The package was as pictured along with the 1142 bulb I am replacing (the small base in the upper right corner is the one that came with the original set).

See next post

I ordered on Saturday with an estimated delivery date of Thursday. They were shipped on Monday from Sumner, WA with an updated delivery of Wednesday. They were in my box on Tuesday. Pretty good service.

The picture. Also the before and after. As you can see, it's hard to tell them apart.

Go to an RV dealer , they will have a display of operating bulbs - there are differences !! Remember that LED bulbs are polarity sensative. Bulbs are more expensive at a RV shop , but they will last a lifetime , and you can return them if not satisfied- worth it in my opinion.

The after looks much brighter--so glad this worked out!


LEDs have come such a long way since the first one I saw "only" a few years ago!


Technology...exponentially expanding!


BEST

Check for excessive heat

I, too, had great Customer Service from Yita.

Just a word of caution, the 48-SMD bulbs I bought put out too much heat and I changed to 24-SMD.

Thanks. I'll watch for that. When I removed the 1141 after the first picture, it was pretty warm to the touch after less than a minute. The fixtures don't have much ventilation.
