For what it's worth you can build your own (minus the nice clippy portion) from parts from radio shack.  You can also use the superbrightled.com LEDs in them as well, which is what I did.

You can also find adequate bits & bobs to BYO at an auto supply store.

I bought my replacement bulbs from Walmart......  most likely be able to buy the sockets there.. if not, try NAPA or some other auto parts store....

I found the bulbs today at ADVANCE AUTO. 12+
Put them in one of my other cabinets. They worked great!

Now gotta find the sockets.
The first website suggested doesn't take PAYPAL or CREDIT CARD.

Bummer there!

So did someone say they are at RADIO SHACK?
Or a CAR PARTS store?

Should have checked while i was there.

Yeah, www.superbrightleds.com  (http://www.superbrightleds.com) is the way to go. I've bought many through them, and they are a perfect replacement. No heat, brighter, less wattage, inexpensive, fast shipping, and last nearly forever.
