Or replace with 2 RED LED's and a resistor so it never needs replacing again.
The LEDS are
polarised, so you need to connect them back to back to protect them from
reverse voltage and then
put a resistor in series with the two back to back LEDS, so you get a permanent
replacement pilot
lamp. The resistor needs to be about 180 Ohms and rated at,1/4 or 1/2W, but
anywhere from 150 to
470 Ohms should work.
