[Kenwood] Lamp and Filter Needed please: Info?

[Steve Kent]

I had a 430 and I did use a white LED to replace the pilot lamp.  It was
as easy as a current limit resistor and a little bit of fiddling around
with positioning. I think I set it with a small dab of silicone. Very
simple and looked great.
