I was unable to find an LED that would fit in the center w/o having to mod anything. I was able to make the 6LED bulb fit, had to make the center hole a little bigger with a file to make it fit. Had no problems/damage with that, end results = bigger hole, brighter interior. Also replaced all my amber interior leds to white too, now that was a challenge. posted pix in album.

1st had to take out the switch, panel etc. to see which kind of LED it was. Hard part was trying not to break a tab(s) off the plastic housing or worst the circuit board itself, then find out how many LEDs i needed, total came out to 150+ leds, soldering iron and steady hands..... very very steady hands.
