Go online to ebay motors then search for the Warden_jp2002 store and find the bulb that is needed. His LED's are nice and bright and has good prices. I don't know the bulb number you would need but it's probably just a 194 wedge bulb (but i could be wrong)

1 watt 194 LEDs are the best.

Haven't tried those but the 1 watts are very bright. You can try them and report back to us.

There's another ebay seller with white LED's for license plate and back up lights in a package of 4 lamps (2 X 2 lamps each) for $16.99 + ship. Do a search you'll find it.
