YAMAHA CR-2040 - Voltage for Lamps?

Been working on swapping my meter and dial lamps out to LEDs. All LEDs eventually burn out, guessing the voltage is too high for the resisters or LEDs. Anyone know what the units internal voltage is or the lamp voltage?

Thanks!!

Bulbs look and work great dgwojo has what you need. but if you have to have LEDs, I just don't know what to do. Are you looking to decrease the load on the transformer? Do you like the looks of the LEDs? Do you want to put in LEDs so you don't have to replace the bulbs again and only have to replace LEDs? Hope you get the look you are going for.
 
If you just don't want to change bulbs again sell the unit in 25 years when the newly installed in 2019 bulbs start getting old. Between now and 2044 kick back, relax and enjoy the performance of your receiver.
 
Just installed new incandescent dial bulbs, will see how long they last. But, would love to find an appropriate LED for my CR-2040. Anyone know what LED's would be appropriate?

Any LED intended for automotive use -- i.e., with an integrated resistor -- will work.

Note that some LED lighting solutions are very poor quality and don't last long. I replaced some of my vehicle dash lights with LEDs, and they lasted only a few weeks before they started flashing and shortly thereafter, burned out. Replaced them with LEDs made by a different supplier and they were -- and still are -- fine.

I have two of these receivers. One has LEDs that work the other doesn’t from previous owner effort. I will check and post back. On the non lit 2040 fuses also blew so I replaced a resistor. There is a resistor in-line of the lighting circuit too.
