Morning Shippers

Recently aquired a model Swamp boat - not my normal kind of RC model but I thought it maybe fun once in a while. However, it seem the previous owner connected a battery of the wrong voltage and blew all the lights on it :-( Been looking for replacements but can not find any thing like then or as small as they are. Anyone any ideas where I might source say 10 of these lamps for replacement.

Thanking you in advance

You learn enough from what's at the other end of the wires, and what's inside each lamp housing.

They are likely to be 2p leds. You cut out the guesswork to tell if a led is blown by its appearance, or with a multimeter on the diode setting, or with a battery & resistor.

In an emergency you can desolder white leds from damaged mains bulbs, from christmas tree decorations or by attaching wires to surface-mount leds taken off flexible 12volt strip, if you are that way inclined.
