They're so cheap on Ebay that you can test it out for yourself before dropping too much cash.

Thanks for the recommendation for the smd36 led's. They finally showed up today. I tested it out at home on a small charger and there was a ton of light. I took the led card and checked the circuit board. Not much to it and could tell the left and right of the card was circuited separately. Using my dremel I cut the card in half, moved the positive and negative connections and sure enough, perfect amount of light and two lights for the price of one. With a little soldering to clean up my test subject it will be ready for installing

So all said and done, by cutting the led in half the cost per lamp was about 1.50 each (not counting solder)

That's clever. Good job.

I have almost finished installing LED's in my 5th wheel. Not able to find all bulbs, until I came across this bulb chart at this site:

Automotive LED Bulbs Replacement Chart

This is from an automotive site. Could this be made into a sticky for others to utilize?
