Thank you
I ordered 10 X BA9S/921/Festoon Dome Bulb 15-5050 SMD LED, White from Ebay for $43.80 Free shipping. Received them in 10 days. installed them in 5 of the 12 dual fixtures I have in my cougar. I placed 1 set in the entry, 1 set by the rear kitchen, 1 set over the lav sink, 1 set in the head, and the last over the center of the bed. The lights are brighter then the standard bulbs and are white, the standard bulbs are yellowish. They were simple to install, just a minor problem with the wires being in the right place on the plastic plug that goes into the fixture. Also there is a polarity thing. If the light don't light flip the plug. Next is to order more and finish the job. Only ordered 10 to make sure they worked.
