Has anyone replaced the incandescent bulbs in the interior of the LQ with LED replacement bulbs?? Wondering how this worked out, what bulbs seem to work best?? I found a site that specializes in LED's but they have many choices.

Replacing the automotive 12V bulbs with LEDs has a few advantages; longer life spans and lower current draws. The disadvantages are usually the higher costs and the light fixture often needs to be replaced as well.
Here's another source, one of many on the internet:

I replace all the lights in the LQ in my trailer. http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispP...
I used 1157 bulbs and a mixture of warm white and cool white. It is bright enough with the lights on but my wife still uses the old bulbs to do makeup.
We dry camp for a week at a time and these bulbs made the batteries last longer. I still have to start the generator so the hair dryer will work but it uses most of the power the gernerator makes.
One draw back is when plugged in to AC power they will flicker sometimes.
