Where to find replacement light bulbs for artificial Christmas Tree? (self.asklemmy)

Dearest lemmings, I have a prelit Costco tree that changes from warm white to color and several of the lights are out but I cannot for my life find a replacement anywhere. I called Costco/Polygroup (company that made the tree) and they don't sell replacement led light bulbs but they gave me these specs: LED dual color 3mm Green Base 20MA 1.8-2.4V or 2.8-3.6V. I tried buying a set of lights at Home Depot but they did not fit and my google-fu is failing me.

Find a friend with the same tree in good working order and give them a goldfish then about two or three days later tell them you won a weekend in a nice cabin by a lake about an hour from their place. You can't go but they can take it a you'll feed the fish.

When they leave, go in and swap trees.

The great thing about this plan is you don't actually need to rent the cabin because they will never want to see you again once they figure out what you did, anyway.

Okay this made me ACTUALLY laugh out loud because I have pond goldies and over the summer they made more goldies and I was asking anyone and everyone if they wanted a fishy buddy lol.
