LED replacement bulbs

I found 1156 led's @ meritline.com for $3.99 ea. what was the price/source of yours, Dan? Also I'm wondering if they are suitable for overhead lights in a travel trailer since led's are very directional w/o special reflectors.

I have  had a couple bulbs burn out in the overhead interior lights in my camper recently and my first thought was to replace the fixtures with LED ones. As I've been looking around i have noticed that they also sell replacement bulbs that are LED that plug into the current sockets. The original bulbs are standard 1156 bulbs. Has anyone tried these replacements. They're about $24 bucks a pop, that's quite a few double packs of the 1156's!!!

You can always solder up a few to a broken bulb base with a resistor and make your own for about pennies apiece!

they also have a 50,000 hr life span !!!
