12v Overhead Light Replacement source?

One of my 12v 9" long ceiling lights went out and wanted to check if anybody has replaced them before and where to source them? Thanks!

I replaced my ceiling lights with two-mode LED lights after the original LEDs failed. see: 07-25-2019 post below:

AutoEC LED Dome Light, 2 Color Mode 12V LED RV Ceiling Dome Light Fixture, Interior Replacement Light for RV, Trailer, Camper, Motorhome, Boat
2 Mode Fashionable Design --- The Dome Light with on-off-on switch, can change the color from pure white to warm white, give you different feel. Warm white light output provides a cozy illuminated environment just like home. I have six installed & control the color mode with a wall switch. It only draws 5 Watts and provides total 1000 lumens of brightness.

My FR3 in White Light.

I have six installed & plan to replace more.

I bought some 12V Led light strips and soldered in to the red/black wire on every single LED overhead in our 32DS. The originals were junk, were flashing intermittently, etc. So I just replaced them all and stuck these up there. Took a few hours one afternoon but worth doing them all at once!

Just splice the wires. It comes with wire nuts. see below:





The biggest issue is the (-) wire on the FR3 is WHITE & on the new light (-) wire is BLACK . The new light is larger to cover your old screw holes.

Just remember......LED lights are polarity sensitive. Nothing scary, just if you wire them backwards or opposite, they don’t work at all. Keep the coloured wires matched and you should be okay, but if they don’t work, just reverse the wires to be sure, and test them again.
