Any one know where to find??

You haven't provided any information as to voltage, colour, luminosity, etc, but since 5/16 inch is ~ 8 mm Sayal Electronics here in Ontario may have what you're looking for.

Found the ones I wanted at M4 led. Good quality, reasonable price, quick shipping. I have no connection other than being a satisfied customer.

Sounds about like the 194 lamp.Arcon LED
You said bayonet? Or do you mean wedge?
What lights are they for?

It looks like you have BA9S. Click on the BA9S in the list. It's called 9mm British miniature bulb.

Go Ebay, dial keywords - LED SMD BA9S - there should be plenty of them. Specify the socket when ordering - some sellers will supply few pigtails with different sockets, and some will have a LED board with a socket attached to it, so it'd better be the right one.

As mentioned by others, you need to specify watts (or lumens) and color temperature. If your old bulb is a regular incandescent bulb, it would have rating in watts. LEDs are normally rated in Lumens. 1 Watt = 15 Lumen, approximately. If you find a LED rated in Watts, look for rating 5 times lower than in regular old bulb, then it will have same brightness.

Color temperature of incandescent bulb is 2700-3000, called "warm white" or "soft white".

If these are the little 53 or 57 lamps used in clearance lights, you would be better off replacing the whole assembly. Bargman 47-37-031 red kit or the 47-37-032 amber kits.

...and yet, it might be easier to replace only the bulbs, not the whole fixture: BA9/BA7 LED bulbs.

Any "reno-man" will tell that biggest pain with renovations is that you don't know what you're going to find after you start removing and demolishing. Some things are better left undisturbed.

Just make sure yours are BA9 (or BA7). Measure the base in mm, not in inches. The whole world measures in Metric, only the US (and TAD, Canada) are stuck in Imperial.

Huh? :h That'd be news to me, I've lived here in Canada all my life and while Imperial measure was certainly the unit of measure many, many, many, many decades ago we've been metric for a long, l-o-n-g time. I don't of anyone who would refer to gas in Imperial gallons but many of we baby boomers do still think in terms of miles to the US gallon, and yes I still go looking for 2 x 4s! As far as the gov is concerned though, Canada is a metric country. :p

No, see, when Canadian govt decided to switch to metric long time ago, they didn't go all the way. A big mess. Like many other things in this country.

Weight is in either kilograms or pounds, - you can see either one on grocery price tags.
Volume is in liters, but what happened to other decimal units like cubic meters or cubic centimeters (aka milliliters)? Instead, there are cubic inches.
Length is metric only in road-related measures like road distances in kilometers or gas in liters per 100 km, but everywhere else there are feet and inches.
Area is measured either in square kilometers for really big places like province or country, or in square feet and inches everywhere else. You won't see square meters.
And if you mention millimeters or centimeters to a Canadian in places like bicycle store etc, he'll counter politely but proudly - What are we, Europeans? :)

Ebay, take your pick

They tried to initially introduce metric measurement, here, for the highway system. US Gov't spent millions for dual measurement road signs. It failed miserably. I wish we had it, would make everything easier.

There are instances where you still see Imperial measures, but by law anything sold must be decried in Metric terms, we are charged for also line in litres, we are billed for water and natural gas for our homes in cubic meters, etc.

However, because of our close proximity, and huge trading volume with the US, products that are sold in both countries are listed in both metric and imperial measures.

In fact, I see metric units on labels of most US mad goods while shopping in the US.
