Anyone know any Web suppliers of LED replacement bulbs?

Funnily enough, I wanted them for my car. tim
They supply LEDs, not LED bulbs.
I made some for the SD1 stop lights. You need a group to spread the beam as one is too directional. Nine seemed a good number, and easy to fit to an old SBC bulb cap - and the series resistor can go in the base. I grouped them on a bit of veroboard with a thick earth wire soldered to the bulb brass bit to support it. You can then bend the individual LEDs to give the best spread of light.
Beware that if you have any form of bulb failure device, it will show a fault.

An LED is not a bulb, a bulb is not an LED. Quite different things.

Just a thought, but....
If you add a resistor across the live and neutral of approximately the resistance of the bulb, will this not cure the bulb warning light problem..

Quite likely, it will also get damned warm
A bulb is something you plant in the ground if you want to be pedantic.
But the common usage of the word doesn't differentiate between the various operating principles of 'bulbs' - otherwise you couldn't have low energy 'bulbs' which are actually fluorescents. So there.
Yup - this is what Hella - and maybe others - provide with their LED conversion tail light assemblies. But it needs to be a chunky resistor mounted in a suitable enclosure as it gets very hot.
try giving Startline a call -
