      Are you sure they are out ? Did you try grounding each pin at the switch plug ?

        Not sure which they are , but I bought some real small LED replacements for much cheaper than that. The BA7 (7mm barrel) is a pretty small bulb and after looking around (and passing by some outrageous prices) I found these.

        I just googled and they are these. I found them even cheaper.

          Posplayr,

          doesn't the led replacements require a resistor? I remember someone replaced their gear position lights with led bulbs and used a resistor, I just can't remember who right now

            Yes LED's do indeed need resistors and all these bulbs have them built in. If it has a standard socket on it assume it is a drop in replacement.

            One other point I did not bother to mention but will do now, most idiot lights are usually not on or only minimal power so changing to an LED will have little effect on total load and therefore one need not worry too much if you still have a SHUNT R/R. But if swapping out from everything from Incandescent to LED, strongly consider getting a SERIES R/R.
