Using Adaptive LEDs in Vintage Bow and Stern Lights?

Does anyone have any experience with and sources for, modern LEDs they have used in vintage navigation lights. My 59 vintage Attwood bow and stern/all-around light use conventional bulbs, but I'm thinking I might like to switch as my '62 Gale 40HP Sovereign motor does not have an alternator and they would draw much less current. Not a big deal but thought it might be nice to upgrade. Thanks for any advice. Regards, John

Try looking into LED's from a automotive source.
I know that they make LED stop lights that retro fit on vintage cars. You can find them on e-bay and they are designed for a 12 volt system.
