You really can't use LEDs on Stern Whitestar games. i mean you can but they will look awful, not matter the type. it has to do with how the lamps were programmed. if you look at regular bulbs on these game, they use a really nice power up/power down effect. it's really cool and well done! but with LEDs that goes out the window and looks like flickering hell. i don't know anyway to fix that, so i keep regular bulbs there.
You can use the OCD board, that is a good solution. but it costs money...
