Default Nigh****ch Replacement Parts

Just got a Cobra 29 with Nigh****ch and it's half dark.

Does anyone have a good source for replacement parts, tips, or anything
else.


Aren't they just green LED's? If they're light bulbs, use LED's to replace.
Measure the voltage and make sure to limit the current with resistors if you do.

One resistor feeding many LED's will need a different value then one resistor
for each LED, and a single resistor will need to be a higher wattage. The power
dissipated by the resistor is equal to the voltage dropped across it times the
current running through it.
