Is it the light thats blown or is it the reflective surface thats broken.
If its the reflective surface its near impossible to make something to replace that.
Also - LEDs unless you plan on using heaps of them dont even bother because they are not as bright as a normal light (yet).

As said ^^^^^ I'd replace to normal globe if it was me.

We have a product at work that is relacement for a normal bulb but it has LEDS on it instead. Perhaps it'd be worth chasing this up?

Your respective calls but I think all turn indicators should be ORANGE because in the daytime the white ones can be very difficult to see .
Its also the reason why I keep spare early L Series front quarter lights because the indicator lenses are all orange - not just the raised bit .
