That looks really nice. Where did you buy your lights?
I am still wanting to replace my stop and tail light bulbs to LED's, but when I go to a web site selling them they get to talking about different brightness in the same bulb. Then I get confused on which one.

 the previous owner of my coach replaced all clearance and rear lights and they are good. The rear lights are Ford Econoline ones Ford Econoline Van LED Tail Lights - Smoke Style, 1995 - 2009 (http://www.coolights.com/Ford-Econoline-Van-LED-Tail-Lights--Smoke-Style-1995--2009_p_1281.html)  and are many times brighter than original. The back up bulb is still the old type but now they have brighter led's I may replace that bottom bulb.

I got mine www.ottsfrictionsupply.com (http://www.ottsfrictionsupply.com) on their ebay page.  $45 for 5.

Edit:  they still have them - Grote SuperNova Low-Profile Amber LED Clearance Lamp | eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grote-SuperNova-Low-Profile-Amber-LED-Clearance-Lamp-/360107437845?pt=Other_Vehicle_Parts&vxp=mtr&hash=item53d8136f15#ht_1747wt_1270) and Grote SuperNova Low-Profile RedLED Clearance Lamp | eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grote-SuperNova-Low-Profile-RedLED-Clearance-Lamp-/360107437233?pt=Other_Vehicle_Parts&vxp=mtr&hash=item53d8136cb1#ht_1747wt_1270)

I got the clearance lights from Flying J They were $9.99 each The side marker lights I got from Truck O Mat they were $32.00 each. I am still pondering on replacing the tail light bulbs with leds.

Hi Craig:

I tried to just replace the front bulbs with the LED's but the light was too shallow to accommodate the LED bulb. Did you Flying J Lights include the light and bulb and pigtail?

Dick, You will probably have to replace the whole light, I would guess that most clearance lights would not have room for a LED .  Try any truck supply.
Here is what I put on my 280
LED Truck Lights ? Super Bright LEDs (http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=%2Ftruck_lights.htm#marker)  ( look at PBM Series ) Peterbilt
BTW, Did you solve your steering sector leak ?

I bought LED lights that plug into the units on my coach at O'Reilly's. They come in amber and red. Price was two for about $10.

Gary, that site "super bright leds" has a lot of variety and seems to be fair prices.  Thanks for sharing. Charles
