Lighting Studio Scale Models (in particular the Galactica)

[padawan-builder]

Anybody know what was used for the lights in the running light housing boxes next to the eyes and up on the sides of the engines on the Galactica?  I had thought it was a row of 6 3mm LED's, but now that I have some LEDs in hand, they seem a bit to big.  Either that, or my light housing box is to small, but if I make that bigger than it won't look right next to the eye.  So, either my measurements are off, or it was something else.  Maybe some small 2 or 2.5mm grain of wheat bulbs.
  Anyone know for sure?

THX,
