Cobra 2000 light bulbs

[CHAINSAW]

Anyone know where I can get lightbulbs for a Cobra 2000 GTL?
preferably LED's. Blue or clear ....or both???

I have a bunch of them I bought from Westgate Laboratories who apparently went out of business thank god I bought as many as I did.

If you cant find any let me know Ill sell you a few of mine the standard (clear) ones are nice and bright they also have the rubber push in mounting grommets on them the crystal blue ones do not have the rubber grommets so you would have to use old grommets or do something different.

I am interested, I know that there are LED's out there too that I would like to find. Are these bulbs actually considred 12 vlot? I tried somw 12 volt clear LEDs I have but they do not work???

LED's are silly everywhere. Ebay is loaded with them.

You have to add a resistor is series with either leg of an LED to run on 12V. Some ebay sellers make them up for you with the resistor installed and wires.

Go to ebay and look in the - now they call it - Radio Communications section and do a search for LED. You'll see dozens of listings.

Radio Shack has LEDs. Resistor needed is 560 ohm. It is a common size. This will work for White, Blue, Green, Purples

Red, orange and amber operate at a different voltage and you'll need a 680 ohm resistor for those.

So if I understand you correctly these are 12 volt but need that resistor?
Cause I looked at Radio shack and the have a wide range of voltages for LEDs anywhere from 1.5 volts to 3.6 to 12 volts and a wide range of sizes/diameters.
What voltage LED do I use and I assume its a 5mm???

You should first check voltage levels to the lights in question and base your decision on that.

You can buy LEDs in most any voltage, common is 3 to 5 volts DC with limiting resistor but one can buy higher voltages. Digi Key or Mouser is where I find mine.
