The originals are not LEDs and there is a thread on here about changing them for LEDs with resistors. They need to be 12v ready. That was a bit complex for me and I wanted to keep the original green colour and had the coloured “condoms” so I found these at the weekend which seem a good replacement. Aim to fit at the weekend but have them in holders ready to go.

I used them for the two bulbs in green holders on the left side of the unit as you look at it, I think they are the smaller ones. They are slightly slimmer than the originals at the head but should be ok. Search for condom in the thread search as that is a term not often used here and you will find one about LEDs and other bulbs.
