Does anyone know the product number on these so that I can order some from Digikey or what can be used as a substitute if their no longer available?

Thank You, GGG
Here's a couple from Digikey that will be suitable, cheaper as well.
Is the same inductor used in the PS3 steam upgrade kits? If so I'm pretty sure I've got a couple of them floating around in a parts drawer. Whenever I install a PS3 steam kit I just upgrade all the lighting to LEDs and run them all off the headlamp circuit, eliminating any CV boards and the need for that inductor.
Same one, I have a whole fist-full of them.
Thank you guys. Got some ordered. Time to look into going the LED route for the markers, but would like to keep the headlight incandescent for video recording reasons. LOU1985, can the headlight circuit handle both a incandescent and LED markers or would the FET blow?
The headlight circuit will handle at least three incandescent bulbs, and I've seen them with four bulbs without issue. Adding some LED's to one or two bulbs won't be an issue.

I've run LED markers, LED head light, LED number board lights, LED firebox light, and LED cab lights off the headlamp circuit in a PS3 kit without issue. Just make sure to use a resistor on the anode of the LED. I usually use a 220-400ish ohm resistor on the headlight and then a 560 or so ohm resistor on the other lights, so they are dimmer than the headlight.
In upgrades that have firebox, cab light, and headlight, I've run all three as well as the class light LED's off the headlight circuit. It's never been a problem.
Yup. This ATSF Northern I used a PS3 kit in has 3mm warm white LEDs for the headlight, two top number boards, and cab light, a red 3mm LED for the firebox, and two 2mm green LEDs for the class lights. All connected to the headlight circuit without issue.
Thanks again gentlemen.
