One of my pet peeves have been the amount of heat and power the swivel lights draw. I've been looking for LED options but couldn't find anything that would look good. On the mid cabin at least, the bulbs are pretty visible. I found these last week and they're great. Warm light and a lot brighter.

I replaced mine with Dr. LED bulbs from WM last year.
Don't know how they compare to these, but the improvement over the factory bulbs is HUGE !

Re: International - eyeball lights LED upgrade
No, you want the single contact. The contact is the base of the bulb, nothing to do with the pin on each side. I thought the same thing 
Got your details on vinyl, thanks.
