Lamp behind front passenger seat.

We took out the old crystal lamp and wanted to replace it. Do you need a lamp that runs off dc current.

Pretty much all the lamps are 12v wiring

The only 110 volt light in my coach is the one over the dining table.  We recently replaced the two wall sconce lights in the living area.  The lamps my wife really liked were 110 volt, so I gutted them and converted them to 12 volt LED. 

If the lamp you find for the table behind the passenger is 110 volt, there is a handy source of 110 volt AC under that table via the electrical outlet on the side of the table.

The lamp does not care what voltage, it's finding a bulb for the base in lamp that matters.  Other have changed all the inside lights to new and more modern fixtures, and sourced the 12 volt bulbs that fit the new 120 lamp bases.

Yes that's a 12 volt lamp. I Roundup got not only getting rid of the lamp at the table to o. For one thing I could not find a lamp shade to fit it. Spent money on several and none of them worked out for me. And then a previous owner had punched holes in the side of the cabinet it was resting on that were pretty much unrepairable so Indiana took the whole thing out and don't the TV cabinet there. Now my TV comes up on a electric hoist across from the jackknife sofa. I really like that. I don't watch a lot of TV but when I do I enjoy watching this one. You can find LED light bulbs to fit that light. Try m4 lighting.com. they're pretty much any bulb that you would want or need.

Quick way to convert is to use a 12 volt standard screw base bulb and wire the fixture to a 12 volt source.  Link for buying:
