I need some light bulbs for these bumpers. They are not available from Lionel. Their website says they are 16V and 0.1A. My track power is 18V. Anybody know where I can get these or equivalent bulbs?

I bought led replacements(warm white 1445) for those bumpers from town and country hobbies. BTW had to take them apart to get the bulbs out. Can't grip them

Rubber thimble or fingertip from rubber glove.

I've used bulbtown.com. The bayonet base bulb that fits is called a Ba9S. The envelope, or bulb shape/diameter is G3-1/2. Interestingly, I could not find an 18v version, most are 12 or 14.5. There are a couple of 28v versions. The 4.7 watt version should be bright enough at 18v. The bulb is #356.
There is an 18v bulb but it is a G4-1/2 which is a little larger (1.06" vs 0.94"). I would be concerned about heat, working at max voltage, with a large bulb being too close to the lense cap.
These bulbs are less than $1.
