One of the first upgrades I do to any new-to-me vehicle is to upgrade all the marker lights and interior lights to LEDs. I've tried about 4 different brands (whatever GRYMTOP or BLEXPLOM brand seems to have good reviews on Amazon) and I've never really found good ones.
I swapped the ones in the (now sold) Branger with some that were pretty good by a brand called ASTAR, so I reordered some for the new van and they must have changed suppliers and they're awful. The chips are glued on and when the bulb gets warm they flicker and eventually fall off. I bought some AUTOGINE 1141s for my RV and they are doing the same thing.
Anyone have luck with a brand of LED marker lights? I need to re-do the RV which will need 24 of them, so I'd like to avoid the Sylvania or Philips which seem to be super expensive (and possibly from the same supplier)

I ordered these from Amazon to replace the first batch I tried in the RV. They aren't flickering after a year or so.

Not Amazon/eBay cheap, but superbrightleds.com seem to be source for stuff actually QC'd.
Diode Dynamics probably has some stuff for you. They make high quality lights and bulbs right here in the good ol USA. They aren't cheap though: the pair of 9005s I put in the roof lights on my Xterra were like $100 shipped.

When my Amazon cheapies burned out in the interior of my minivan, that's what I ordered. They seem fine. Then a week or two later I was in my shop and found I'd bought a multipack on Amazon. Whoops! Well, hopefully the superbrightleds lamp lasts a very long time.
My only problem with superbrightleds is that they are $9 per bulb. I'll need about 24. Wasn't planning on a $250 lighting project.
I've found on the RV, it's best to replace the entire assembly with led fixture. I found some decent multi pack deals for the one I am fixing up now.
something like these; I did find a slightly better deal - I think it was a 5 pack of the doubles for $4/ea. And also a 3 pack of singles, even though I only need one for this... they'll be another!

My off road use only light bar is from them and it's a proper piece of kit.
In reply to thatsnowinnebago :
I looked on their website. They only have red 1156/1141, and they're $30 each. I'm sure they're top quality, but that's $750 for this project.

Oof, yeah that adds up FAST.

Great resource, though. Adding to favorites
I don't know, I bought everything but the 194's I need for D2D at meijers this month while they have 25% off sylvania. I think the most I've spent so far is $13/2pk for 3157's.
