I believe there's a company that make little plastic ring doodads to go around
the instruments. Not cheap, though. The trouble with LED's is that they don't work
the same as light bulbs. They're a current-controlled device, and a bulb is roughly a
voltage^2-controlled device. If you have some of each, it'd be tough to get them to
dim at the same "rate." As far as getting stuff approved, depends on your friendly
neighborhood FSDO, I guess. You just fixed yours... leave well-enough alone!

Wait a minute... didn't you taunt the airplane gods a week or two ago about
how *everything* on your plane worked? :P~~
