Hi Bruce,
My 85 has the stock light with the three bulbs. My 84 has completely different lights and they are all over the van. I will likely be on my own to find LED replacements for the bulbs.
I have already put LED bulbs in the stock kitchen light. I only put in two as three were two bright and they are the white light. I’m sure my wife would prefer the more yellow light and the dim option. I may have to drive over to Alistair and see if I can get one!
