LED's instead of ordinary bulbs

I changed the ordinary bulbs from the indicator for LED's.
They're cheap, low in energycosts , and i hope they will last so long that i don't have to replace them anymore. The light they give is bright

Good idea, and you found these locally or somewhere a lot of us could easily order them from without shipping costs being astronomical.

In the column at the left you find "LED-carlight".

Here's a site that may help us on this side of the "pond" Haven't had a chance to check it out thoroughly to see if they're direct replacements such as Zsmoke posted.

Yes, the site is in Dutch and English, but don't work for 100%.
This is a direct link to the LED's you need for the indicators http://www.leds-buy.nl/led-carlight-c-67_88.html
And yes, i think that there are more site's who sell these LED's, and with a bit luck in your own country also.

Try Digi-key. I have bought a lot of electronic supplies from them and they are great to deal with. They specialize in LED components. Here's a link for you.
