LED lighting questions...?

The ones I used are the ones below. The first link is the bulb that goes into the little halogen lights that look like small frosted glass discs. Those things get incredibly hot with the halogen bulbs. The second link is the bulb that replaces the standard 921 incandescent bulbs which is probably what you have in most of your fixtures. Hope this helps!

We will be adding even more LED lighting to the next revision of Wildcat -- more to come on that!

My Wildcat has LED lights and when I turn on the lights with the radio on, the radio reception dies. Is it common that LEDs interfere with the radio?

That all depends on the LED. Some are notorious for EMI while others do not. Most folks experience the most interference when a dimmer is used.

Not the LEDs but the drive circuit. DC drive through a resistor -no rfi. Pulse drive (usually IC instead of resistor) can cause rfi. Driver can be built into LED unit. A dimmer is an external driver - usually IC pulse drive.

You need to remove the bulb to tell what type of base it has. For a wedge base it will be a T10. Most halogen bulbs are 2 pins which is a G4 base. There may be other types of bulbs used in your RV so look at each one individually. There will be at least 2 different types of bulb bases used for interior lamps. Exterior marker lights will be most likely T10 base just make sure the bulb assembly is not longer than 24mm or it will not fit under the lens cover. Brake turn lamp assemblies will most likely be a BAY- 15D base. Search around on Ebay to determine what style of base matches your bulb. Also most led bulbs have polarity so turning them 180 degrees may be necessary. Those with no polarity will be identified as "Error Free".
