Electrical schoolwork...

[Bernard Littau]

Just go to Radio Shack and purchase some of their 12V DC red LEDs.  They 
have the resistor built in, so no messing with calculations of ohms and 
WAGs of resistor current capacity (sheesh, 1W resistors).  Should be 
close to a drop in replacement.

See:

I assume that is a current part no. for the RS LEDs.

Best,

Bernard
