Jay,
there are no issues with the LED's that I know of other than they do
have a load resistor in series with them, so they need no internal
dropping resistor to work across +5.
they have long leads as well, as there is a 1" (or there bouts)
stiffening board to keep the leads from shorting out, and to position
them in a line to poke thru the front panel. There are other solutions
to allow for long leads, but they just used a long circuit board.

Or, if you can find even one working LED on the original panel, remove it

That is probably the way I'll go. Thanks (as always) Tony!!!
