Your auto supply probably has some replacement bulbs made from LEDs.
Although when I tried some, I discovered that the polarity on my brake
lights is reversed!

B.G.Micro sometimes has some good prices on bright LEDs, but it's somewhat
variable.

DigiKey has some assemblies of multiple bright LEDs in bayonet mounts, but
they are no cheaper than the auto supply.  Their price on single LEDs seems
a tad high to me.

Dayton is coming up, last year I bought a fistful of bright white cheap
there.  Dunno where in Canada you are but a couple days ago I saw a note
from someone coming from Toronto or maybe Montreal, don't recall, down
through Windsor looking for riders.
