If you're still having trouble, try LED Bulbs 4U - Home - Led Bulbs 4 U
They're a small, father and son business who attend most motorhome shows. They've been incredibly helpful over the years at identifying awkward bulbs.
 
All available from ebay out of china soft or pure white,also do your tail/brake and front parking bulbs to as they use less power from alt and seldom blow

Another vote for this firm.

I have actually just ordered some LEDs from them today, 2 for the house and one for the van.
 
If you are buying led bulbs for a motorhome, don't buy 12v ones. The power supply is 11.5v to 14.4v. Generally, the bulbs will be getting 12.5v or more, even late into the evening. This will cause them.to fail very quickly.
It is pretty easy to get bulbs with a voltage stabiliser built in. They only cost a little extra, but last 100 times as long. They are usually sold as 8v to 30v or similar.
Alternatively, you can fit an inline voltage regulator to the lighting circuit or to the feed to each bulb, but that's a lot of hassle.

Most of the ones i got from china are rated 9v to 30v so ok for use lot.
