My question is about the lights, and more specifically about which LED's to use for bulb replacement ? I know some of you have already done it, so would you mind to tell me the LED type and reference (if possible) you have used for such conversions ? I'm interested in warm white LEDs and red LEDs. There are so many references in the "LED world" that I'm a bit lost. Any pointer would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. Cheers Fabrice
