If you take it to Home Depot or a lighting store 
there should be a number of LED lamps from 
Philips and others using the same two-pin base 
and rated for 12 VAC.  They say not to use them 
on 12 VDC but the ones I have tried from Philips 
have operated ok at constant brightness on a 
range of DC voltages, with the current going down 
as the voltage goes up.  I don't know how they'd 
handle the automotive version of twelve volts but 
could be worth a try.  However I doubt you'll 
find one that gives anything like the same omnidirectional lighting.

Yrs,
