I prefer the warm light of tungsten bulbs in the interior but hate taking apart the dash to change them. Once everything electrical is good and cleaned, and the gremlins have been chased away, the warm LED route is the way to go for me. If they last 10 years, that's fantastic.

That link to S&M Electrotech was great. I just emailed them about modernizing my Becker Mexico and amp or buying one outright if they happen to have it. Looks like repairing the original unit would be cheaper by almost half over replacing it.
