Oh, btw, the site I sent in my previous message does have a statement to the effect of, bulb color must be the same as the lens color (unless the lens is clear). I can't stress the truth in this enough..

If you get a mismatched color, you may find that the "hugely brighter" LED is nigh on invisible. LEDs have a VERY narrow spectrum, and a mismatched color can get totally blocked out. Unless you have seen this in person (as I have), you can't believe it.
