Does anybody recognize this nav light assembly?
It currently has incandescent light bulbs for the position lights however I would really like to change the light bulbs to LED so I was wondering if anybody has gone down this route before and would recommend what LED light bulbs to use?
Thanks,
Bill Hunter

That looks like a Whelen rather than a Grimes. As for replacement, there's all sorts of half assed solutions but the proven ones are the Aveo:

Is AeroLeds not a good product?
Anyway, I think the OP is looking to replace the incandescent bulbs only. Maybe these: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/wingtipLED11-14885.php?gclid=CjwKCAjw0On8BRAgEiwAincsHC9ZYPASI-k4eNx2i1boOo1Hc2-cd1XW_G_facZVW2stvy_zPUj7ehoCN60QAvD_BwE
The OP did not mention if this is OBAM or certified.

I bought these for my Glasair. They're brighter, and fit perfectly. Good for 10-30vdc.
But... Check the fixture/bulb first, and determine 1.) whether the current bulbs have/need reflectors, and 2.) whether or not the pins that secure the bulbs in the socket are offset or not. They can sell you both.

They're nice and bright (appear subjectively a bit brighter than incandescent), and as long as you make sure the polarity is right, they should work just fine.
(Officially, of course, for experimentals only.)
You can but several sets of these for the price of the new gold-plated Whelens.
Their customer service guy was very helpful when I had questions. His name is Robert Cullinan, at sales(at)brittaproducts.com
In case the server stripes out the link, go to pilotlights (dot) net.
BTW, in case you have the Whelen combo coaxial strobe/taillight setup, they DO NOT recommend their bulb to be used there. The store tube puts out too much heat for reliability.
So I changed just the wing lights. Saved about 4.5 amps draw.
