Where is the place to purchase Interior Led bulbs

2013 Raptor Interior LED bulb replacement, I am trying to find a resonable place to purchase these small bulbs that have 2 wires on the end and snap into place. The bulbs that I have do not have any numbers on them.

The bulbs you're trying to replace are probaby 921 bulbs. They look like this:



You can find several replacement LED bulbs ranging in price from 2.88 all the way up to 21.98. Price is not a reliable indicator of quality. I've found that most (if not all) LED bulbs are made in China, even if some are "assembled in the US" So it is very difficult (if not impossible) to find "reliable US made LED products"

One recent source that has been discussed on this forum recently is the place I bought mine from a couple of years ago. It is on Ebay, located overseas, in China. This Ebay store offers free shipping, relatively fast (most orders delivered in 10-15 days) and among the lowest prices I've found. Other members of this forum also indicate that they are satisfied with the brightness and quality of this store's LED bulbs.

You can see these bulbs here:

There are several other threads with detailed info and discussion on the topic. A quick search on led will find them.

I converted the entire interior of our rig to the ones already mentioned. They are just as bright and use about one tenth the current.

I bought a a 10 pack of LED's For $43.80 with free shipping 2 months ago. Brighter than the incandescent. Am going to buy what I need to finish off the rest of my fixtures this week end.
Go To Ebay and search this item# 180741762993. This is what I bought. Has a sticky back so you can locate it in your fixtures and the wire plug fits the socket. By the way the LED's are polarity sensitive. If it don't light rotate the plug.

From what I was told, it should drop amperage draw by approx. 10 times.

Those are what is called a G4 bulb. Do a search on Ebay for g4 led and you'll find lots of different options. Many should fit your needs.

FWIW, almost any 12vdc light fixture can be converted to LED, You just need to know which incandescent bulb is in there. A lot of them have the bulb number stamped or imprinted on glass or base.

Nudels2u75 -

I think the LED interior lights that you are looking for to replace the inside 921 incandescent bulbs have a designation of T10 - not T3. I may be wrong but everything I've come across has the T10 designation. The T3 may work too - but it looks like that it has an altogether different base. ????

If they are Halogen Bulbs with a G4 base as you claim then you can still replace them with LED's. In my previous post I made I gave you an Item# to search for on Ebay. The seller has a store which he sells all different types of LED's. If You have used Ebay before you'll know how to find it, If not.. just look for the sellers name to the right of the product "2011-led". and below it will be a link to his other products. When there search for "G4" and all G4 based LED"s show up.

Happy Hunting
Bobyt
