Hi,
We have a 2013 North Trail 21FBS Caliber edition. We had the "Bright" idea to change the 921 type 12volt light bulbs to LEDs. Bought a 6 pack of 921 replacements from Camping World. Lo and Behold, when we got the old bulbs out (It was tough to get them out), there's no way the replacements will fit the sockets. The ends of them are too thick. Has anyone else had this problem? And what was the solution?

Hello
I have done a lot of led upgrades to trailers and vehicles and would hazard a guess that if you compare the bases side by side you will find the plastic led is a little wider than the original
If possible bend the fine wires gently out of the way and pass a file across the base to re-size it a little for a snug fit as you don't want them to be loose and fall out easily lol.
Hope this helps you out.
