My 2011 Georgetown came with double bulb pancake lights on the ceiling and small round halogen bulb fixtures under the cabinets and over the couch. I replaced all of the bulbs with 48 led panels I bulk purchased from China. These panels have no voltage regulation on them and, if run on over 12V burn up quickly. To avoid problems with them, I installed a DC-DC buck regulator in each fixture that I set to 11.2V. The regulators and bulbs cost me around $5 / fixture, a reasonable cost.

When I removed the fixtures, the one that was on the most had turned the ceiling under it brown from the heat of the bulbs.

I also added an additional LED fixture in the hall, just outside the sliding bedroom door. It nicely lights the hall wardrobe that was, as delivered by FR, a black hole. I used the air conditioner duct to run power from the nearest ceiling fixture to it.

WE have our Windjammer on order and haven't been able to determine what model tail-light fixtures are on there. From looking at online photos, it appears they are Peterson 457 series and in that case, take 1157 bulbs.

Hoping to try these units I located online since the placement of the LEDs would appear to mimic the location of the filament in a regular bulb and thus work well with the Lens covering the bulb/fixture.
