I did some looking around. You can get a direct replacement for the tail and brake light in our busses. For just under $90.00 a pair you can get a 40 LED 1156 bulb replacement! Yeouch.

Individually, the bulbs cost about 2.50

This web page has a lot of good stuff. http://www.theledlight.com/ledbulbs.html
