LED Interior lights

Post by jddens »

I have 5 of these overhead lights and would like to change to LED bulbs. Current they use a very small 12V Halagon blub. I can't see any numbers on the blub. Anybody changed these to LED?...........Thanks............John

The key is the type of connection pin configuration you have in the fixture; there is more than one type used. If you can't get a number and are unfamiliar with the pin type, take the bulb to any store that sells them and get the pin configuration from the packaging, then it's a matter of using that pin type when ordering the LED replacement.
