LEDs may disappoint you very much.

Yes. I own five 229/238 tuners. I put LED's in the first one I bought. Didn't even consider doing it to the others. Instead, buy 14 volt, long life incandescent bulbs from a good industrial electronics supplier.
Unless the stock bulbs are 6.3 volt lamps, in which case you will want a lower voltage, perhaps 7 volt rating, to make it last a lot longer than a 6.3 volt lamp.
