Continuing with the wiring of the van, gives me the opportunity to search for and order some of the materials, needed in the coming weeks. My list currently consists of wire connectors, heat shrink, 12V outlets and power inlet. I still haven’t found decent and affordable 12V LED light fixtures either.

Another post on wiring of the van. Two heavier wire gauges will support the appliances to be installed on the driver’s side.

What I've done in my dodge is purchase led bulbs for all of my fixtures and exterior lamps (expect headlights). They are super bright on the inside and pull wayyyy less voltage. Instead of looking for led fixtures, I'd think you could accomplish what you're after by simply swapping bulbs.

I'm doing a conversion and the light fixtures that I have, are not suitable.
