LED instrument panel illumination question

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

Was there not some recent discussion along lines of LED instrument
panel illumination? I'll search archives, but just in case I come up
empty...

One of my Lincolns has lost most of the little tabs that hold blue
filters for instrument bulbs (old brittle heat fried plastic). Before
I reverse engineer new holding arrangement, has anyone had success
with 194 sized LED's in an instrument panel? Am particularly concerned
with intensity and evenness of illumination compared to bulbs. Would
be a lot easier simply to change color at the sockets.

Prefer LED's over colored 194 bulbs to limit future heat damage.

Want to go back with traditional green BTW.
