Inexpensive LED light replacement for 2860DS

I am Looking for Inexpensive LED light replacement for 2860DS. I saw last year a lot of ads for them but had to put up with slow shipping from China. I cant find the ads now anyone with any links to bulk orders of them? The slow shipping is fine!
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I've seen those but looking for the inexpensive ones. I am also wondering that because of the polarity problem with some of the leds not working one way and having to turn them around in socket if it has caused a problem with led being upside down? If so what did you do to correct the issue?
thanks

Typically, those pictured are not polarity sensitive.

I bought ones like these and found that after two years most of them stop working. Seems the wire at the bottom would get loose.
I've not had any issues with the new LED bulbs so far. Polarity was not an issue for me. I had concerns myself when I bought them.

huge selection at Ebay

go to Ebay-search for the type of base your lights have--I have bought some that I didn't like the brightness so I just look at the brightest. Have only a couple that failed-some are over 4 years old. I use them every year for 3 months steady.Most are shipping free. If in a hurry some are sent from the states with a small difference in price. I have always had a huge selection to pick from. I've also added 3' strip light over couch & 18"behind bed on wall to read with. Can't stand to lay in bed to read with lights on above me.put both on a remote controlled dimmer that I got on Ebay too for around $4

also look at full fixtures. I found it cheaper to buy a 10 pack of double led fixtures ~$70 last year , than to buy individual bulbs. Most of my fixtures had been overheated by the incandescent bulbs and needed to be replaced anyway.

What kind of bulb? I think you were on my thread, but the ones that I bought for a majority of my camper are incredibly bright.

I used: GRV T10 921 194 13-5050 SMD Wedge LED Bulb lamp Super Bright Warm White DC 12V Pack of 10. They were $23.30 on Amazon. These appear almost the same in brightness and color as the original incandescent bulbs. Beware of cool white LEDs as these will make your RV interior look like a mausoleum!
