I want to replace all the standard bulbs in our 2014 3895 with LED and want the brightest possible for battery life and light quality.
I pulled the bulbs in our trailer and it appears there are just two types used throughout. I am having trouble getting the numbers off the bulbs themselves.
One series of numbers from one bulb is 921 / 12v18W - so I will presume this is a 921 bulb - simple enough.
There are so many options when I search, I'm a little confused what to order...
The other bulb was more challenging to get a number that I can find in a search
64-20w or G4-20w and different bulbs come up for both when searching
Can anyone that has done this tell me the correct bulb numbers as well as where you found the best source to purchase?
Thanks in advance!

Let me try to help. Your are correct in than there are two different bulb mounting bases. I'll give you links you decide.
You will have the choice of Cool White or Warm White. I went with Warm White after see what the Cool White look like. The Cool White are a more harsh/blue color.
The LED lighting is not going to be as bright as what you have now. I think that is better in almost every area. The show is an area that is not bright enough but most people know there own anatomy
so they get by.
Links below for interior lighting. I use Amazon.
These bulbs have to be inserted one way. If when you plug it in and it doesn't work. Pull it out and turn in 180 degrees.

On these bulbs I had to take a pair of wire cutters and clip shorter about 1/8" of the little metal prongs.

These are for your exterior lighting. I used these for my security and rear ramp area.

I'm sure others will post with there opinion on cool as opposed to warm color light. I just preferred the warm. Doesn't mean I'm right.
The LED lighting uses almost zero battery power.
Good Luck
