I've currently got my factory Rubicon locker switch (the one mounted on the dash) apart. The bulb that illuminates the switch is a 14V 100ma halogen bulb, but it's soldered directly to the circuit board. I removed it and plan to solder on an LED bulb in it's place.
These are the LED bulbs I ordered to replace it:

I put one on in place of the halogen bulb, plug the switch in, turn on the interior lights, and it lights up for half a second, then "pops" (as in it blows the LED).
So clearly I'm not smart enough with electronics to know what I'm doing wrong. I know how to solder really damn well, but I must be using the wrong type of LED bulb to replace it will.
I'm hoping someone on here is good with electronics and can tell me what kind of LED bulb I need to use as a replacement for the halogen bulb.
