Title: SIP Discrete Socket specification for interchangeable LEDs?

Does anyone know what are the specifications so I can find these in any online store so I can easily change my keyboards LEDs? I plan to use them in a Phantom PCB.

Since I'm here, if anyone knows the specifications for the switch holes so I can change switches easily would be awesome!

I think for the switches it wouldn't work for the Phantom PCB since the holes are probably already tight for the actual switch.

I bought standard, generic SIP sockets off eBay and cut the sockets out of the plastic holder.  They fit nicely in the switches, and the LEDs fit in them as well.

You want Mill Max 311 series SIP sockets (EDIT: for the LEDs).
