I made my own with 8 LEDs. I think it's the same bulb as the OEM unit.
Edit:
Missed Ozzie's post. That's what happens when I open the forum from the email of a reply.

Does the ring on this version light up any better than stock with LEDs?
Yeah, I got one of those when it came up. It's a direct replacement, the diameter fits more modern plugs, but it's still shallow like the stock, and thus may still have fit issues with certain plugs.
They're available available here.

Not a bit.
Same exact unit. May help *SLIGHTLY* because the green plastic is more clear (because it's newer) - but a hardly noticeable difference to the illumination effect.

Agree. Just thought of something someone could try. Paint the metal case white that fits into the plastic. That may cause the light to be more even around the ring. I painted mine black and also lightly sanded the plastic ring on the inside. That was done to try to even up the light but I'm not sure it helped much.
Use your old lighter to experiment with if your buying the new one.

Just went to buy one of these, but it comes in at $30 shipped. Anyone try any others, like the ones on ebay? $10 shipped is far more palatable...

Will these be at DCS '12?Here are some better photos taken with a tripod since you don't use flash with LEDs. It's so hard to get the true colors with photos of LEDs.
I misplaced my two black screws for the shifter plate

I have not done a PCB for these yet. Not sure if people would buy enough to do the PCB. Most people expect LEDs to cost a few bucks and would not buy one that would cost about $30 to $50. You just can't get the cost down unless you have them machine built in the 10,000 quantities.
