That'd be the way I'd go unless there was some need to retain original appearance. The optics are much better and the LEDs are wired through their own dropping resistors so a partial failure doesn't take out the whole light. And for those of you who came in late: there are also significant...

As Derrickl112 pointed out, there's still a basic problem with the 'flat LED' style - there's no reflector mounted in the housing to point all the light from the LEDs mounted longitudinally at the lens. I'd probably mask the socket then spray the inside of the housing with white or silver paint...

You've run up against a common problem with the LED replacements. The original lights were designed around a filament that emits light at a wide variety of angles. The Fresnel lens is optimized to gather the light and point it all (more or less) straight out the back of the unit. LEDs, by...
