Convert Halogen Park Lights to LED

So the little park light globe died on me and so I thought I would like to see what another colour would look like.

Comes from that little hole there:

Now do you get an LED bulb to replace it if you want red, the specs are 12V 4W. I was thinking of possibly just making a sort of transparent, red sleeve to fit over the globe if I can't source LED bulbs for it (drawn in). (Changed my mind on the colour)

Any ideas on where I could get LED or fabrication ideas?

I agree. You do get replacement LED's for the park globes. I had blue in my car, had it for about a month untill a cop pulled me over. Safe to say I changed to white very quickly.

:eek: :eek:

Guess i'll go back to standard halogen then, the T4W leds seem to be too difficult to find anyway. I'd still like a white LED.

Called him now, he's got stock, gonna pick up the rest of the LEDs while I'm there (number plate light, cabin light etc etc). Thanks for the heads up man.

Yeah, I'll definitely keep them white (you people have scared me off any other colour :banned: )! Thanks for the offer though.
