I spent a lot of time finding nice LED lights that could replace the power hungry 906 bulbs that are in there....   I finally ordered warm, 3500K bulbs that provide the same amount of light and run on a mere 1.3 watts each!  That's a lot less power!  I got them for a few dollars each, they should include these or offer an upgrade package!

We replaced our 921's with L.E.D.'s recently and are extremely happy with the choice.  They are brighter than the 921's and as already posted, using a mere 1.3 watts each!  We purchased thru Amazon.com. LLC from a company called Putco (www.Putco.com).   The cost was $ 19.95 / 2 bulbs (360 degree) including shipping.  I didn't bother changing the single bulb in the bathroom, never had need to turn the light on in there.  You know, hurrry up, take care of business, get out.  Any one need some spare 921's?

you just put them into the existing fixtures or did you have to change something there too?

Unplug the existing bulb, and plug in the new, sweet and simple, I like that.  Changed 10 bulbs in about 2 minutes.

The Putco bulbs ordered are under the tab that shows "LED pure 360' "  they are sold in pairs.  Just look for the 921 white replacement designation.  Those are the ones I purchased.  Have a great day.

Jason,
You are quite welcome.  We look forward to seeing Glacier National Park next month in our 177.  We will be well South of you yet look forward to seeing God's creation in the Rockies.  Because of no electricity in Glacier we purchased the L.E.D.'s + have 2 marine batteries, will be interesting to see how many days we can get out of them.  Will definintly use LP for the fridge as I already found out that using the battery is pretty harsh on it, 1 day and the battery was on Low.
