LED dash lights

well i have my dash apart and i was lookin at the cluster and pulled out my dead lights. i figured since i had the dash apart and most of my lights were dead, i would put some blue LEDs in place to match my headset. my question is, do they make LEDs that'll go in place of the stock bulbs? or do i gotta pick up some LEDs and solder them into the little plastic connectors?
