I pulled mine apart and removed the ballasts. I then glued led tape lights to the reflective panels in the housing, wired, and reinstalled. They've worked great ever since. To be honest there was not a significant energy savings converting them to LED. The rest of the interior lighting on the other hand saves a lot of power after conversion.
