LEDs for coindoors and TB...WTB...

Does anyone in the GTA know where to buy LEDs and sockets, for lighting coindoors, and trackballs???

I have my TB lit with a single super bright red LED, but it directional, and when you look at it from a lower angle it doesn't appear to be illuminated.

I was hoping to swap it out for a bulb of sorts, that I can put in a socket (I'll need to buy those too)...I would want them for my TB and for coindoors...

I was thinking Canadian Tire, or some sort of automotive store, that might have the 12 volt ones, but I haven't seen any through my online search...

Any ideas??

One advice on lighting the coin doors.

Do not use LEDs.  There don't look as good as normal bulbs.
I tried the LEDs because I had a bunch around and thought it would
last longer than a normal bulb so I wouldn't have to change it ever again.
But the LEDs light is too focus.  It doesn't make it glow.

It may depend on the type of door, but I get a better glow with a red 4 led cluster than an incandescent bulb.  I get holders here:
