Default LED Gauge Upgrade

I'm wanting to swap out LED lights into my Livorsi gauges. These are the bulbs that I pulled out. Need help identifying so I can cross reference the right LED bulb. What are these?

Like an idiot I got mine from Livorsi and they charged me 9.00 apiece. You can find them much cheaper (AND BRIGHTER) on the web. It's and easy change up.

I like these they should work well the ones I got are not bright enough. Think I'll order some too.

I dont know why anyone wants super bright gauge lights. They look cool on the dock, but hurt your night vision.
I run with dash off most of the time and flip them on to check stuff every few minutes.

Or use red bulbs. Red lightning does not affect night vision. You'll notice ships always have red on at night when the need a light. I do in my wheelhouse also

I was saying the lights Livorsi sent where no brighter than the standard bulb that came with them. I would like it to be a bit brighter not super bright.

Superbrightleds.com is a great source for LED bulbs. I have bought many from them. However this time I went to ebay for my bulbs. I went Blue. http://www.ebay.com/itm/331137774590...84.m1439.l2649 ended up costing about $1.00 per bulb. Since my gauges are much lower than my line of sight I went a little brighter. They actually turned out to be the perfect brightness.

This camera makes them look much brighter than they really are....

That looks sweet! Probably a stupid question, but does this bulb you used from ebay work as a direct replacement to the basic bulbs in the side compartment where cupholders are? Reason I ask is, I bought a couple bulbs from Home Depot that claimed to be "Xenon" style, however they turned out to be the exact same as the stock bulbs I have in there now.
