Not necessarily the light, but you can find bulbs.

Try here to see if they have what you are looking for: http://www.superbrightleds.com/

I was able to equip my CJ-7 with all LED's from this site, markers, side lights, parking lights, tail lights, etc.

I found the led equivalent at pepboys. It's a festoon bulb. I installed a blue led on to punch up my transom lights.

I went for looks over safety. There is zero night traffic on my lake and never police.

what size is this bulb? I pulled mine out and it is too short. Try LEDLight.com I was able to get a 360 degree led for my Nav light at a great price

I second pep boys in White, the bulb is a little to short to fit in the factory connectors, to fix this just unscrew one of the tabs and flip it upside down making the gap smaller, plug her in and good to go!

Yes that's what I did. Take the cover off and turn one tab. Bulb fits right in there. Have used mine for one season and no problems.

Just in case anyone else needs help with this, take out the incandescent bulb and measure the bulb in Millimeters. That measurement correlates to the model number of the replacement LED bulb. Personally, I would try to get something that's SMD as they tend to be brighter than some of the others. Not all LED's are created equal.

I have an LED for my rear light there. But I had a handful laying around from car projects, so I was able to use one of those.
