Default LED Tail Light Upgrade

Both of the tail lights on my 2007 3326 need some attention. The bulbs have to be twisted "just so" or they don't work. If cleaned the sockets, added dielectric grease, new bulbs, and tried "crimping" the sockets to make them tighter for better contact. All to no avail. Add to that the lens/cover retaining tabs on the curb side light are cracked and flimsy, maybe it's just time for some new lights. Anyone have a recommendation on a surface mount LED assembly with the same (or slightly larger) dimensions as the originals? Are the LED assemblies on the newer TMs the same size? As always, thanks for any ideas!

We replace our, but decided to stay with what came with the camper about $12 each. Bargman 34-92-002 #92 and 34-92-004 #92.

But if I was switching to leds I would go to Bargman 48-84-009 or 47-85-002 or 47-84-530

I think those are both recessed into the shell... Maybe I'll just put a new set of OEM assemblies on and then install LED "bulbs" when the incandescents burn out.

I tried to find some dual element LED's bulbs, I could only find some with oval shaped contact, they did not make good contact with the recessed round contacts.

Let me know if you find some that work.

Look at http://www.etrailer.com.
They have surface mount LED light fixtures for tail lights and clearance lights.

Not much selection with backup lights.
