almost any SMD led will work for this application. I would order some that are presoldred onto fine wires.

I used type 805 LEDs some years ago before oe could get them prewired. See https://cabin-layout.mix...07/08/tunnel-signal.html

If you do it yourself and you make your own led board I would go for smaller smd leds (402) and you also get flat ones, have a look at ledbaron.de. (he is on holiday at the moment but his ebay website is still running.

I used 0603 and 0805 smd leds on mine bought via Amazon . com, they are very small and not pre-wired, so you need to have some soldering skills to hook them up. I used 30 AWG coated magnet wire to hook them up

Good luck
