Where to get replacement LED's?

I have a ZX 500 that is missing the red yellow and green LEDs from the fan board. It looks like someone broke them off. Does anybody know where I can find some replacements to solder back on? I would imagine Mouser has them but I have no idea what part numbers.
Thanks!

leds are not like resistors/capacitors where its VERY important too get the right size/rating, at least for just a one color led. Match the color, match the size. The biggest difference is the light output and how many degrees of area it covers but for the power leds on the amps its not really that important.

I was hoping that someone could help me with the part numbers or at least the size dimensions so I know where to start looking. Mouser has a shitload of red LED's, lol. Can I still get them from Phoenix Gold?

doubtfull pg would have them or sell them. 3mm is the standard size I think they liked to use, at least on the Ti amps but I am sure one of the other regulars can chime in.

Does this one look like the right specs? Anyone?

They have many different specs in many different colors. Not sure which is appropriate for the ZX500 board? Thanks for any help!

Red, amber and greed are the three LED's they should have. But you can use any color as long as you pay attention that the amp is not on protect or temp LED when you use the same color for all three LEDs.

Thanks for the reply. I know what colors I need, but what about the specs? 12v, 6v, 2.2v, with or without resistor, etc
