Led Light Bulbs

I guess I should understand this by now but I'm still not getting it. I would like to get three inside LED light bulbs to replace the three that burned out in the first few days of ownership (weird, huh?). When I look at pictures online, my Scamp 2017 light bulbs look like 921s but then there are two distinct different types of  921 LED replacements -- one has a flat-round type of head (like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jtech-4x-T10-24-SMD-LED-Bulb-Super-Bright-Warm-W...) and the other ones that have a "tower" head (like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/20x-Warm-White-T10-921-194-RV-Trailer-42-SMD-12V...). This "tower" type says it is an backup reverse light.

Here's my confusion. My inside light bulbs (that all burned out) and my outside light bulbs (for the two porch lights) look the same. And they look like this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JS3TFN8/ref=asc_df_B00JS3TFN85188479/?tag=h...). So they seem to look more like the LED bulbs that are said to be for backup reverse lights.

So which do I buy? Tower or flat-round?

I have read all the info on our resources page and know about warm light but this is a "shape" question. Novice trying to get it!

LED ?

Looks like i over paid, have "tower" bulb but a two pack from Auto Zone $19.99 just my thought but both will work fine flat or tower when they fit in base.

Have Scamp will travel !

LED Bulbs

In the Solar Resource under reducing power consumption it shows the different bases and considerations for buying LED lights. Those push type and are shown in the resource page. Amazon is normally the best place for buying the bulbs due to their easy return policies and several package recommendations are linked to on the resource page.

The flat ones will put more light directly down from the fixture as the tower type some of the bulbs will be buried at the back side.

Thanks for the clarification!

I just ordered some LEDs from Amazon and am looking forward to their arrival and placement in my lights!
