LED version of the license plate bulb

[sabunim5]

In changing to a longer screw and adding some RTV, so that I don't lose my license plate light housing, I noticed that the incandescent bulb is melting the housing plastic. Does anyone have a source for an LED replacement bulb :dontknow: Sometimes you do a post and then you look at it at go; What have I done? What I really wanted to know was an equivalent bulb number. I know where to buy them. I just don't know the bulb number for an LED light that would fit and work in the existing socket. Hopefully, someone has already done this and will be kind enough to share the info. If not I will do the legwork myself and post the results.

These people have lots to choose from. LED's are directional so if that bulb is mounted horizontally you may need a 90 deg bulb. They have those in certain sizes. I haven't had to look at my license plate light yet luckily. I had a similar heat problem with side marker lights on a Goldwing. They cooked the sockets pretty good. Replaced them with LED's from Autozone and they worked fine.
