They are 194 style bulbs, you can go with a Solaris Bulb that is mirror coated and blinks in either amber or xenon white, an LED bulb that offers a similar option in LED output or a full LED replacement housing like these:

One more question.
I have been trying to remove the lens to put in led's. My fear is I am gong to crack the tab underneath. I tried to do it like in the owners manual (fingers to push forward then press the back of it out.
Doesn't budge.
Will a small flat screw driver under the back side of it pushing it up work without breaking it?

That should work, but use something with a plastic tip. I used an old credit card. Then if you slip it's not a scratch.
