LED swap-out

Anyone one know what type of LED's to swap out with? I took my switch apart today and wasn't too bad. I'd like to sauter on a blue LED. Gonna start in the back. Need to know which LED has the same power requirements.

you can use whichever one you want, it just affects the brightness. the pic below is a comparison of the stock switch and my led switch. the led i used was from www.superbrightleds.com - 2500MCD (i believe it's the lowest one they have) and i paired that up with a 470-ohm resistor. a friend got one of the 10,000mcd led's and put it in his room. he says it lights up the whole room, so i can only imagine how strong that is.

for those into black lights, the ones that cost $20+ for a 9" tube, i've tested out one of their black light led's, which cost close to nothing. i used ONE led under my dash (tested only and removed since it's not my thing, was just proving how strong it was) and it lit up the whole area under my dash.
