Here's an interesting project, not quite what you want to do, but some
instructive info.

You can order LEDs from various places, mouser, sparkfun, there are some
other hobbyist electronics suppliers.

I am wanting to replace some burned out dash lamps in my VW Vanagon.
The lamps in question are for the panels around heat/vent controls. The
bulbs I removed are housed in plastic barrels that are 8mm in diameter;
the barrels push-fit into a recepticles on the back of the illuminated
panels.
My thought is to replace them with LEDs, it seems that 8mm is a standard
LED size but I'm not sure where to source these.
I found this on eBay:

Anyone think those would be appropriate? Or know of any other good
sources? I want something approximately as bright as the original lamps
and that will dim appropriately if I dim the dash lights.
