dash lights turn signals high beam ect

Hi, i am trying to find some small flush mount lights to put on my dashboard
I am after 2 green, for turn signals
1 blue for high beam
1 red for ignition
I would like something that is small and will fit flush on my metal dash.
it would be nice to find some with a small outer chrome ring, but i am open to all types, i would prefer something that is small so as to not clutter up the dash too much,
what do you guys use ?
can anyone suggests a shop or a contact where i might be able to find something like these.

I used small, nominal 1/4" 12V LED's from Radio Shack. Two greens for turns, one amber for hi beam. They also had red, but at that time no blue (blue LED's are harder to do, I think). They have a very thin chrome trim ring that can be used or not, and a threaded shaft w/plastic retainer nut.

Those from HRC look pretty sweet. Here's what I used - 7mm lense with a tiny trim ring. Super compact lamp assembly, and $2 each.

I have the 5/32" one's from Ron francis. The one's you speced from the hotrod co. will require you to space them out due to the mounting size of 3/4". Only a thought as you were planning on loading your dash with 4 of them.
