Got the parts today... this is a crazy simple mod!!
Can't believe I didn't do this years ago...
The package is held together with 3 small clips, so you can easily open it without any tools.
There is a 1/8W 610 ohm resistor and a T1 LED inside, so about as simple as you can get. (see photo attached)
I don't know the specs on the LED that is used, but lets just say it's "Not very bright" so it's easy to see why the strips in the doors don't light up much.
I have these Orange (605nm) LEDs on order and will decide which I want to use based on the brightness, but likely the brighter (18000 mcd) is what I will use.
9000mcd

All you need to do is replace the LED (re-use the resistor) with the new one (very basic soldering) and you are ready to go.
I'll post pictures of before and after when done this weekend.
Thanks & Enjoy,
