Default Little Bulbs for backlighting gauges ?

Have two Greddy gauges and the bulbs have gone that backlight them - have checked with them over here and they want £6 per bulb !

Anyone know where you can get the bulbs somewhere else ? or if others will be suitable ? They are tiny little clear ones that go in blue holders that fix into the back of the gauges.

Have thought of maybe just wiring in some LED's instead ?

Model railway shops do really small blubs for doing anoracky things like working signals (someone told me OK?) Likely to be 12V too so definetly worth a try.

Did check Maplins but they didnt have bulbs, think I'm just going to get some 12V LEDS at 12p each and use those rather than £6 for a bulb !

BT43W is the part no for 12v white bulbs (not LED's) at Maplins.
