Where to find these LEDS?

I pulled apart my window switch to day to see what i would have to do in order to change the light to blue. I know that i am goin to have to solder new leds in but i dont know where to find the LEDs that are in there they are tiny. Here are some pics.




I guess if i cant find these i might be able to put some bigger ones in. But any help would be greatly appreciated.

Actually after taking another look at those they look like they are way too big. The ones that i need to replace go across that little u shaped part at the ends of the circuit board.

Y the pics were from my camers phoneand didn't come out too well. But the leds have like wings off the sides and have a really tiny round led in the middle. If I cant fond the right led I will just get larger ones to put in there and just take those ones completly out becasue there is a ton of room in there.
This is a oic of the back side and you can see where the gold color is ont he ends of the circuit board is where the leds are.

I havent looked at the headlight switch yet but I have pulled apart the window and lock switches. Which have those real small leds. I also took apart the adjustable pedal switch which has a different led in it. Almost looks like 2mm. I guess ill have to take aprt everthing and make a list of what I need to get.

Ya its starting to get frustrating. I was almost just thinking of getting a bunch of like 3mm ones and putting where I can
cuase the window switches and pedal adjuster have a lot of room in them. Then I will just finish the cluster. I don't even want to look in the A/C controls.
