97 270 Docking light LEDs?

Trying to find LED replacements for the H9406 docking lights.  Has anyone found them or fabricated replacement?

I called our local over the road fleet parts shop and they didn't have a cross reference for a LED version for that part number.  Everything rectangular is coming up as halogen.

But take a look at some of the following and see if it the specs, sizes, etc. might work:

M42206: Surface Mount Low Profile 0.4" Ultra Thin LED Light - White Back-Up/C...

M42213: Rectangular White Back-Up Light

MWL-05SP: Rectangular LED Work Light - 1,200 Lumens

Thanks Chris... the middle one M42213 looks pretty good.  I will try to locate it locally.

With the high draw the stock lamps take, I never used ours at all. The right side even tripped the dash relay. Now, with the LEDs, the draw is tiny so I use them to set up camp at night or anything around the campsite. Nicer to have overhead lighting from the top of the coach but they do a decent job. LEDs above the entry are also great once I changed the lenses to clear.

I have used them boondocking and a few other times on after dark arrival but has to be brief with that draw.  Two are currently burned out so I thought if there were a reasonable replacement I would do it.  The halogens are available for 15 or so on Amazon but did not find cross reference system.  Rounds available but squares not so much.
