We would need to know what kind of bulbs your light uses. The 1142s referenced in my link fit some masthead running lights. If you use a white light in the red-green-white part of the unit you *have to* use WARM WHITE. Cool white will NOT produce red and green through the lenses, which were designed for a light with a color temperature around 2500-3500K. Cool white LEDs are 5000-600K. For the anchor light it does not matter.

Can someone suggest a source these kind of LED's that are reasonably priced?

Remember that they're probably rated anywhere from six to ten watts, which is a bunch for LEDs. Without the heat management, they'd smoke in just a few hours.

When you run LED's directly off of a 12 volt system, they don't give off much heat.
