[Heathkit] LED backlight mod on SB200/220 meters

[W5RKL]

Why not just replace the lamp(s) and be done with it?

Gentlemen,

I am wondering if anyone has found a clean solution to
providing a 
replacement for the incandescent bulb backlight on the
old Heath amps?

I have removed the bulb and suspeneded a few leds
about an inch or so 
behind the meter so that they provide a diffused
backlight.  While the 
look from the outside of the case is fine, it's not a
very elegant solution.

Appreciate comments from anyone with experience or
suggestions.
