tm-731a pilot lamps

[KC7CNC]

I would like to either replace the pilot lamps in my Kenwood Tm-731a with new lamps or LEDs. I cannot find much information on the voltage or mA rating or LED conversion. I have a schematic that shows the incoming voltage as 10.5v (or when dimmer is on 7.8v) feeding two parallel circuits, each containing two lamps in series, each series preceded by a resistor of unknown value. Can anyone help me figure this out?

As far as the dimmer mode --- that can be problematic with LEDs
