I was really disappointed in the looks of my old #47 bulbs in my 4A line so I changed the bulbs out for LEDs finally.

Not only do they keep the front of the radio so much cooler, the looks are so much improved.
I bought the wrong LEDs, they were cool white and not frosted.? A few minutes with some sandpaper and a yellow
Sharpie fixed them up though.

My iPhone didn't capture the look very well, they look even better in person.? All the original Lagoon Blue filters
are still fine.

Gary,

?I did the same thing but I found the bright white to look the best in my 4C line. However, I was not using the same style bulb. It is convenient to use the bayonet style though as it is just a bulb swap. I bought both warm and white LED's and I have generally used the white. Although the original incandescent bulbs were very yellow, the white LED's filtered through the blue seemed to look better. I guess it is a matter of taste and also most are used to what the incandescent looked like.

Here is something similar to what I used -

Doug,
Yeah, its personal preference at this point.? Some guys figure its supposed to be Lagoon Blue so they use blue LEDs.? OOH, not for me.
Warm white is what I think is best but...? I bought the WHITE but it was waaayy too blue for me.
I was happy I could use varying amounts of yellow to get it just right for my liking.? I like the kind of "aqua" color.. remember the old Mackintosh amps?
