As above they are sideways facing led's, 12 for the IPK and I think 2 for the Clock.

The circuit board from an IPK with the illumination led's circled in yellow showing location, you need to be reasonably competent at soldering to change them.

For sourcing the side-LEDs, this link was posted a couple of days ago.

Side-LEDs: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/visible-leds/6656173/

These are red ones, but I guess they do various colours.

I converted my clock to blue and added red LEDs for illuminated hands. I also changed the face so it is only the numbers and notches which allow light through. Metal Monkey.co.uk made the face.
