I took the marine beam replacement led route. The tubes weren't cheap (~$20/each) but a drop in replacement bulb that didn't need rewired or new holes or anything else was a big win. I got the warm white ones. I guess technically MB suggests rewiring the fixtures to bypass the florescent starting circuit. Mine have worked just fine without the bypass.
