I see that the following firm supplies these in individual lots: http://www.superbrightleds.com/BA9S6_specs.htm but do not know exactly what base I need that will fit in what I have. Am I correct in understanding that the Omni meter lamp is 6 Volt? (saves me opening the rig up, don't want to do this unnecessary).

LEDs may disappoint you very much. Tungsten lamps put out light in all
directions but through the base, LEDs put out a narrow beam out the
front only, they are hard to get spread light with installing a gaggle
off LEDs.
