I've been reading about an led replacement for the florescent light assembly in the sleeper but have been unable to find it. Anyone have any ideas on where to find it?

A poster in the flatbed forum installed some in what looks to be a Pete sleeper in the post below:

Even listed where he got them from, good luck! -
I bought two new ones for my Marmon from superbrightleds.com they even flip from white to red so i can look cool at night while i am asleep

That's the same place the guy got them from in the flatbed section, I just didn't want to be the first to say it

Are they the ones that plug right in to the factory harness or do they have to be wired in?

TRP makes an interior LED light for under $40. http://www.trpparts.com/Parts/Category/625/led-interior-lamps-utility-lamp.
They are smaller than the factory one. We cut the factory housings, basically gut everything except the edges that hold that factory lens on. Then mount them under the lens so it still looks nice. You can't get to the switch that way, but our trucks have the switch on the wall. Putting the lens over them dims them down a bit, but still brighter than the fluorescent ones at 1/4 of the cost. If you want them brighter, you can just mount them, but you have to make some kind of trim to cover the gaps if you want it to look nice.
I don't know the part #, if you're just looking to repair a non working light, Grote makes a florescent one that is the same dimensions for around $100. which is less that 1/2 the cost of a Pete one. -
Mine had to be wired in .

Bought my led one for my 2000 379 at the local KW dealership. I think it was right around $100, plug and play no hassle and last forever

Sorry David I don't. I just called them,they had it in stock and 5 minutes after I got home it was in and done. Some guys have said a camper sales place might have the same thing.
