Replacing bulbs with LEDs

Hey all, I am wanting to swap out my semi-dim bulbs in the cabin/cockpit for some LED bulbs.
Does anyone know what size or name this is so I can order direct replacements?

go to
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp...
and get on their support chat. They seem to have a good cross-reference database as well. IF you have the part # of the light fixture it came out of, that will help.

do not do it! but if you must don't buy the cheap ones! they don't work worth a flip. I put them in my suburban and with in a week they were flickering on and off. also most of the LEDs are wider at one point were the glass meet the lower part which makes it harder to put back in the socket.

On the site Clark listed, they are just a few bucks, worth a try I figure! My buddy swapped them on his car, they look pretty good.
