Has anyone replaced the factory bulbs with the LED clusters? I was looking at the Super Bright LED website and they have a T10-PCB-CWHP9 High Power Cool White LED cluster that looks like it would work with the push-in style that my trailer has.
If anyone has experience with changing out the bulbs on my particular trailer model, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Here is a link that covers everything you want to know about LED's.

I did this also and they really run cool and save the battery.
Make sure you get the white ones.

I just did all of mine. Sorry, I don't have all of my detail info available to me where I am. However, here.s some tips..I replaced all running light bulbs with 5 led cluster bulbs (one straight fire, and four side firing). These replaced my standard bulbs (think they were 194's). Get the bulbs colored to match the lens, or they will give you odd coloring (red looks orange and amber goes almost yellow if you use clear bulbs). They are polarity sensitive so if they don't light when you first put them in, just reverse them. You might also want to check with Ledlight.com for some options. If you want to replace your tail/brake light bulbs make sure you know which way the bulb must face (they make 90 degree offset bases).
I also did my truck clearance, side marker, and stop/tail bulbs. Changing over certainly improved the lighting, response time, and energy consumption, but don't expect it to be the same as a total fixture changeout. Considering the price variance, I'm happy....Brian

O.P here. I have the push-in incandescent bulbs with a 921 stamp on them. Will the Super Bright LEDs model T10-PCB-CWHP9 work? From the website product photo it looks like the stem is similiar but I can't tell for sure.

Both the Superbright and the Ledlight sites have conversion tables for incandescent to LED (numbers to numbers and bases). I think you are OK, but my memory isn't what it used to be so I'd rather you used them. Just call them up, both have 800 numbers.....Brian

I have installed superbright led panels in the interior of the trailer, they give a blue color glow and are not as bright as the incandescent bulbs, but, they stay cool and use little power. superbrightleds.com
Last winter when in Quartzsite I purchased the next generation of bright leds and these units are much brighter and give a yellow glow.
The model I have are the W9.RV3-H /9 HyBright-3 LED chips on flat board
3 rows of 3 chips each
27 LEDs, CW
Wedge base (9.5 by 2.1mm)
180 lumens
omnidirectional
perpendicular to the base
12.8 volts nominal
11 to 13.8 volt operating range
0.18 amps
2.16 watts
100,000 hour lifetime

I've used their PCB boards and they work great. All of them are still going strong after two years. I'd suggest calling the folks at superbrightleds.com if you have any questions we can't answer here. I've found their customer service people to be very knowledgeable regarding RV applications.
