The correct US designation for the bulb is "211"

Try goggling LED 211 12V festoon

There are several types (none of which I have tried). Keep in mind the cover needs to close fully in order for it to shut off.

Where can I find the non LED bulbs? When I search for it all that pulls up is LED.

Thanks

211 bulbs should be available at your local autoparts store

You might have a problem closing the cover with those first LEDs. Looks a bit wide.

I bought a couple for just over $3 apiece including shipping which look like they will fit. If they do I will post a link.

Well my supplier refunded my money and can not supply the 211 LED bulbs at this time.
