and where can I get a colored LED? 12V automotive light, it's the backlight for my HVAC controls in a 98 Dakota. the gauge panel uses regular 94 bulbs,but I'm not sure what size this one is, nor where to get LED versions of it.

it gets the contacts from the wires that go through the base, and wrap back up around and contact the copper circuit board from the "top side" of the plastic base, seen here:

I hate google.

I even tried "12V Automotive LEDs" and got a bunch of Ebay and Amazon crap.

Thanks for that link!

No problem!

That place seems to be one of the better ones to deal with as well.
