Changing from Halogen to LED. What is plug end called?

I don't see exactly the same end in the searches I've done. I want to switch the Halogens for LEDs. Could someone tell me what these kind of bulb ends are? Thanks

They look like a wedge base bulb. Not sure what size. Is there a number on it and where did it come from?

I have used these a few times. They seem to work well. What fixtures are they in?

JDM ASTAR 10pcs Super Bright 194 168 175 2825 T10 PX Chipsets White LED Bulbs https://a.co/d/fvoOLwb

I used these last time in the big ceiling lights.

I've found for the exterior lights (red, yellow) the colored lights look the best under the plastic lenses. LED white seems to look funky to me.

I have ordered a bunch of different brands and get along the best with these.

AUXITO is ok. LASFIT is better but more expensive. I have been running these for over 2 years now. I only had one side marker that needed replacing. I think it gets drenched with water by the wheel.

Interior lights have all been great.

Appreciate the replies. It's a bulb from the ceiling lights in a Crossroads Longhorn I got. They get hot very quick so looking forward to switching them out. You just stick them in (no twist). I do like things nice and bright as a rule. Thanks.

I ordered some of these. https://www.amazon.com/ACOHUIKE-Ceil...08S3S6873?th=1 Are the onesd yuou mentioned first significantly brighter? This trailer has a total of 31 interior lights so I thought I'd start with these and experiment with the remaining 11 since there's 20 in a pack. Thanks!

No sure what you ordered, but if you want it bright, order the Cool White ones. They will be whiter than the warm white

Those look very similar. I bet they're fine.

On this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DE7UC6C...language=en-US
I'm not finding where they specify what color white it is? I was looking at some of the other ones listed below as well. They just say white 6000K...? Actually I just came across these.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09QQNF58Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
They specify cool white. I can experiment with 31 lights inside. I think the base will fit? Thanks.

Here's what I know. I absolutely hate cool white bulbs and I've bought two sets of these. However, I don't recall now where I installed them.

As I said earlier.. for the side markers and trailing roof line lights I'm using the colored bulbs on the outside.

As far as the interior lights are concerned I'm using the larger bulb with multiple LED's. The only thing I don't like about those is that sometimes the color is a little weird.. you'll occasionally see lines on things that are different colors. Otherwise, it doesn't bother me.

The only other bulbs I have in my camper are a couple of flood lights in ceiling fixtures and 1 baonet light in a fixture over the table.

They are Wedge Base Bulbs (957) I believe is the number. I also ndo not believe they are Halogen, although they burn incredibly hot.

If you want to change to LED bulbs you will have to change the entire fixture, as LED bases are different in a lot of cases.

However in some cases, out trailer for example the what I am calling standard room lights, mounted on the ceiling which is a double fixture with 2 of those bulbs, one on each side. When I replaced our I did find an LED replacement panel with I think 30 individual LED (approximately 3" X 3" as I remember) lights and a connection cable that simply plugged into the base, the panel mounts to the fixture via sticky foam tape.

Sorry I dont have access to pictures as the trailer is in storage.

I searched a long time on the internet looking for replacement bulbs/panels, standard auto places RV places dont have the selection and they are very very expensive to buy from

If you are switching to LED, especially for interior lighting, you should familiarize yourself with 'color warmth'.
This is how bright or white your light is. Historically, LEDs have been very white or have high 'Kelvin color temperature'.
see this link:
https://rbw.com/blog/understanding-c...f-led-lighting
Most people learn this the hard way, and buy LEDs that are too bright.
If you want to duplicate the color and brightness of an incandescent bulb, it is below 4000K warmth. 2700K is warm and yellow.
I like about 3000K for a comfortable color.
Note, this has nothing to do with the candle power, or strength of the light.*
