Low voltage garden lighting, looking for just the lighting element and wire

My front garden has the Hampton Bay low voltage lighting.
My wife recently bought a stone Japanese lantern, and I thought it would be cool to have it light up with the garden lights.
Hampton Bay, really Home Depot, doesn’t sell just the lighting element, at least not from what I can see.
Anyone have an idea of where I can get just the low voltage LED light that I can connect to the low voltage wire running through my garden? I’d like to avoid spending money on the entire fixture that I’m just going to break open and take the light out of.

Some HB light units are sold separately...LINK
Just cut out any parts that are not needed for the stone lantern. You may have to worry about total load on the power supply. If so, upgrade or remove one light unit.
If you are DIY electronics find a led module with correct specs at a vendor like superbrightleds LINK
Last Comment - Many Big box outdoor light sets are very poorly fire ant and water proofed. Get some silicon sealant and fill all the voids around circuits.

I probably wasn't clear in my OP.
I already have the lighting set up in my garden, with the transformer and everything. It’s been there for 20 years.
I’m looking for a way to put a low voltage capable light in a Japanese stone lantern.
Good news is, I think I found a solution:
This G4 bulb socket Amazon with something like this bulb Home Depot.
And I’ll use this connector to tie it into the existing low voltage wire Home Depot

Funny thing, I've had these lights installed for 20 years. And just recently did I have to deal with ants moving into one of the fixtures.
