I have two 8/e machines, one of which has the original panel with 
incandescent lamps and one which is a slightly later panel (but the same 
type, just a later revision) which has been converted - I believe by DEC 
- to use LEDs.  I've experimented with different LEDs, and found that 
some yellow ones look quite convincing, but as I remember using PDP-8s 
with red LEDs back in the day, I've kept the original red ones.
