Instrument Panel Bulb Replacement

I'm getting ready to freshen up the instrument panel in my S2. The lighting is so dim that the reflecting material inside probably worn out so I went ahead and ordered a new reflector from the dealer. I like the kit from Flamingeye but it costs more than a new reflector, so I don't see that much of an advantage.
I understand it's supposed to be a "permanent fix" but it still seems way overpriced at 80+10 GB Pounds + shipping when a new reflector can be had for around $140 here from the dealer.
Anyway, I plan on replacing all of the bulbs in there and over the years I've seen several of you replace some of these bulbs with LEDs.
Specifically, the PET diagram shows the 85.5 panel having the following bulbs:
928.641.983 -> 6 bulbs
999.631.301.90 -> 4 bulbs
900.631.019.90 -> 4 bulbs
I'd like to know which bulbs can be replaced with LEDs, and what type of LEDs (white) are the most suitable. After searching the archives, I haven't found this information.
TIA

Maybe more...not a ton of value but some get you closer than others.
