interior bulb sizes - 2005 Classic 30'

Anyone happen to know what teh bulb specs are for a 2005 Classic 30?

The dinette overhead fixture has three shades and each uses an automotive wedge style bulb.

The bedroom side lights (one each side) use two automotive wedge style bulbs.

The AS book I got with the (used) trailer doesn't seem to provide any detail and there are no markings on the bulbs themselves that i can see to tell me what they are.

At a local Wally-World, they sell bulbs with a similar base as follows:

#74 - 1.4 watts

#161 - 2.7 watts

#194 - 4.6 watts.


Anyone happen to know which, if any, is the correct one? If not, I'll just buy a few of the #161's as spares.

Thanks Rich,

Unless anyone else has other info, I'll try those.

I do have LED's in our reading lights, front and back, and they are ok, but I would have liked them a little brighter - might wind up going back to the halogens I think.

I also put LED's in the "chandelier" fixture over the dinette, but the darn things all fell apart after very brief use. They were the 'tower" type of LED's with something like 13 small square LED panels on each. Seems they overheated or something as the little LED panels all fell off! They were not cheap either!

I did buy them from one of the AS aftermarket suppliers. I should have returned them, but I had already returned them once as they sent me the wrong ones - cool white instead of warm white. After the failure I was so ticked off with the whole thing that I just chucked them and went back to teh automotive bulbs!

I'm sure the automotive bulbs will not last much longer as they are pretty black looking! That's why i want to get ready with some spares!

I posted the bulbs for my 2010 here:

The dinette uses 904s I believe (9 watts). I have switched to somewhat lower wattage bulbs but may put 904s in once I get the dimmer installed.
