    Google "1156 12v led bulbs" will give you lots of places (I don't have anyone to recommend).

    With LED conversions--I would get a few and try them out for 1 year and see how they last. The typical White LED does not last that long (100-500 hours) before they start to fail (turning dark, going dark, etc.).

    LEDs actually run very hot and need good heat sinking for a long life--And the standard LED T 1-3/4 etc. (plastic case with leads out the bottom) just do not have very good thermal cooling properties.
