Radio Shack or any other electronics supply place ought to have LEDs,
and for super cheap too. It's no big deal to bend and trim the litle
legs to the right shape to sit in the holders. Just don't buy
super-bright ones, or you'll go blind. Man, I'd hate to imagine what
the dealership would charge for one if they DID have 'em.
