I have a bag of these from mouser.
Their for the small LEDs, 3/4 size I think.
I'll post the part number when I get home from work if someone doesn't beat me to it.
About installing them...
The plastic is so soft that my thumb nail was putting a deep mark in the little black thing.
I found that a BIC ball point pen with the ball point and ink tube removed make a great pusher to install them.
The tapered part of the tip fits the LED and pushes on the little black thing ring.
something along the lines of this: http://www.mouser.com/search/Refine.aspx?Ne=1447464+254016+1118567+254255&N=1323038+4294822754+254255+0&GetRecs=1&Ns=P_SField&Msb=0&RefType=Header
For T1 3/4 (5mm) LEDS, I bought these:
Mounting Clip (Mouser #593-CLP125)
Retaining Ring (Mouser #593-RNG268)
The ones I have from mouser seem to be discontinued, part # 351-0001.
This seems to be the replacement

Simple form of LED panel mount with nothing on the inside.
I drill a 5/32 sized hole for these for a tight fit, hence the need for the BIC pen tube as a pusher tool.
I pick em up at the Rat Shack. One of the few usefull things they have there.

Rat Shack has some metal ones too that look quite a bit fancier, if a tad more expensive. If you're like me and the looks of your pedal are really important, it would be wise to get the metal ones.
