Default Sportsman 2001 Illumination lamp

Hello,
I am in need of solutions for the mini lamps in the handlebar switch that serves and the high beam indicator and starter switch illumination. Also the small lamp on the other handle bar for the AWD indicator. I'm thinking super bright LED's and want to know if anyone has done it yet. After battery cells dropping, regulators failing, these lamps get fried constantly.

Thanks

its do able. but if the bulbs are getting fried. the leds will also. leads are voltage and millamp sensitve. so evon useing a resistor it will still fry a led if the voltage gets to high. iv made led taillights for my polaris sportsman, and also converted all the back lighting bulbs on my camaro to led. it looks awsome with leds. so if your gona add leds its just amatter of figureing out what led will fit, and work in that spot. good luck tho.
