What's the popular choice for upgrading/replacing interior lights. These look nice and are priced well too.

If you are going to buy them on ebay, keep looking . Those are too expensive.

Dan, did you notice that those lights were a 6-pack? That makes them pretty cheap.

No I didnt. 6 doubles for 35 bux, counting shipping. That is a good price. Those look like the good fixtures too.

They are not the best fixtures but still a good buy. Get the clear lenses. They magnify light and are great for leds.

I need another light but Carol wants the ones that came in the coach - I've seen them at Camping World for about $25 but haven't gotten around to buying one.

May I assume these are old school style bulbs
with high current draw?


Dan, do you have LED bulbs for these?

Armand,

Are you talking about the rectangular ones that have two square lenses and a
switch on the side that has faux wood grain?

If yes, I'll bet someone here has some they don't need. I have spares but
they're in Humble, Texas and I'm in Sydney. Plus I haven't checked them to
make sure they work properly.

Regards,
Rob M.

The auction notes they use 1141 bulbs which are the filament type.

Armand,
Lights are not the same.
The one Dan and I have for sale are more ideal as they are not too
white and warrentied.
There are lot of them that cannot withstand voltage fluctuations and surges.
You know Dan as well as I will take care of defects promply.
You can go to our site and see that we have all type to use in our GMC.

Jim,

I just looked at every item in the Lights section of your website and you
don't sell anything like these.

These are the fixtures that screw to the cabinets like the OEM's do. They
come with 1141 incandescent bulbs.

There is NO WAY anyone could sell SIX lights equipped with two LED "bulbs"
each for $24.75! Not even your cooking buddies across the Pacific!

They are nice looking candidates for the LED "bulbs" that you and Dan sell.

Hi Rob,
Yes, that is the type I am talking about. I kind of figured that someone would be selling them on a swap meet table at a rally but have not seen one yet. I am not in love with them but they work and will match the others that I have.

JimK - I have not made the switch to LEDs yet but when I do I know that the ones that you and Dan sell are the best.




Armand,

Now, what kind of question is that? Sure I can take care of you with this kind of fixture.
Very Happy

I am pretty sure the 1141 and 1156 us same socket. If not, I would have to order the different one but no big deal.
