rogo88 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 2004 Winnebago 369W Looking to replace bulbs w/ LED's. Does anyone have a listing of the bulb numbers for this coach? Or generally utilized ones for Class A's? Looked thru' the Electrical Group of the Parts List but didn't see part numbers to try to reference with LED part numbers. Is there another source for this information? Thank You Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 What will probably be easiest is to remove one bulb and find the number on it. The do a google search for an LED version of that size. Alie & Jim + 8 paws 2017 DRV Memphis BART- 1998 Volvo 610 Lil'ole 6cyl Cummins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogo88 Posted January 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Allie and Jim; Yes, that's a good solution. I'm being lazy, since coach and I are not in the same area code right now. Thanks, Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris-n-Dennis Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 The RV Geeks also did a video on their own project (watch it, you can score a discount). When we converted over to LED's in our Class C (long since gone now) the folks we turned to was M4 Products. When I couldn't find a number I simply called them, messaged a picture to them and described what color or temperature I preferred. Done deal. A couple of points: There are several "temperatures" on LED's. Make sure you find the ones for each area that will work best for you. Good LED's don't come cheap. "Deals" may actually cost you more in the long run so really do your homework.

Here's the link http://www.m4products.com/ Our experience has been that provided you get the LED's with the right voltage range it doesn't matter where you get them. We bought ours on E-Bay based on "Cheapest including shipping" and apart from the outside light (which rotted away in Florida) we've had no failures in 3 years.

coachmac9 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Not trying to hi-jack the thread but aren't the LED lights supposed to last a lot longer than normal bulbs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key was stated in "the right voltage range". A LED rated at 12 volts can have a very short life as the typical voltage in RVs is more like 13.5 volts. Cheap 12 volt LED life falls off the cliff when used over 12 volts. My experience was using a boat step light (Boats are usually under 12 volts) in an always on situation. The first units were lasting four-five weeks. Adding a 12 volt regulator chip made the last unit last for 10 years. Better quality LED lamps have built-in voltage regulators. Also some LEDs are rated for a range that goes higher than 13 volts.

Thanks, that must be what happened...got some LED's at a great price and as usual, you get what you pay for!! Should have known!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouserl41 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 8 -15 volts is what the cheap ones on e-bay were rated when I bought them. They're still going strong after 3 years except the oones I used in the outside ight. That one corroded and fell apart.

wcurtin1962 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 One thing to keep in mind with LEDs is they have polarity, incandescent bulbs don't. If you plug one in and it doesn't work, but when you plug the old incandescent bulb back in and it works it's possible that the socket has been wired "backwards" and will have to have the wires switched to get the LED bulb working. Plus some older turn signal flashers will not work with them and will have to be upgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
