I recently replaced a burnt out 555 GI bulb that is buried under ramps/plastics on my Met Pro. Changing the bulb requires raising the pf and unscrewing the bulb socket from below. The bulb itself isn't visible as it is completely covered by plastics and ball guide. So I thought it was a perfect place to experiment with a GI LED.

I picked up a few cointaker warm white frosted LEDs (WW555F and WW44F) for $0.79 a piece.

I like it. There are two bulbs in this back left corner. I replaced only one of the bulbs (the one on the right in the pic) with a WW555F. I think the brightness and color is pretty comparable.

(note: you can see the reflection of the LED in the pf, if you are interested in what they would look like in an exposed position).
