Replacement LED Recessed Lights

I want to throw out a warning about ordering replacement LED recessed lights concerning the hole cutout diameter. The carvers seem to be quite accurate at 2" hole size. I ordered these ALOVECO LED RV Lights, 12V Led Lights Dimmable Camper Interior Lights 3000K Ultra-Thin RV Lights Interior Waterproof 12 Volt LED Ceiling Lights Motorhome Sailboat Yacht Case of 8 Packs


They were almost perfect, however they are just a hair over 2.00" cutout and my 1996 320 has a perfect 2" hole in all 13, just doesn't quite fit. The hole size listed for the light is 2.16"

So my options are to get out a hole saw or router and bore out all the holes, or order a different set.

After a lot of searching the only one's I could find so far that MIGHT fit the hole are

Dream Lighting LED 12volt DC Recessed Ceiling Light for RV Caravan Boat Cabin Kitchen, Warm White, Chrome Plated, Pack of 10



I haven't decided if I'm ordering them, or boring out my 2" hole's.

A dremel with a sanding drum will be much easier to get the size you need.

Yep, that's what I ended up doing, halfway through so far. It's a lot of labor I would have preferred to avoid, but the lights look great.

Unless the housings or lenses are bad, why not just replace the halogen lamps with leds? about $1.25 each
