I have gone LED on my truck and it is awesome. I used SMD LED (I think the 5 SMB 194 type) from http://www.hipoparts.com/. Very happy with results. I used warm white for my dash in the truck, and green for the gauges on my bike. Positively amazing compared to factory incandescent.

Pictures look slightly more white than they actually are. Gauges are now bright, clear, and do not detract from night vision. Driving anything with incandescent dash lights is irritating now that I'm used to perfect bright gauges without struggling to read them at night.

I have changed over all the navigation lights to LED's on my 90 Mariah, I also used warm white as I think the cold white looks almost blue- I did not want a ticket! I went to superbright leds and used the technical drawings to match the bulbs to LED's. I still want to do the gauges as well.

I think I'm going to do at least the nav lights on the Saltare. What type of bulb the the rear white light on the transom?

Also note that I had the same concern with the cool white LEDs, thought they'd be either too white or too blue. Note the pic from my truck dash the bulbs sit behind blue tinted translucent domes that give it that sort of blue/green color. With incandescent it's a more greenish color and with the warm white SMD LED it's a bit more blue. If I was to do it again I might remove the blue tinted covers and go with green LEDs like I did with the bike gauges.
