There's an article covering how to do this in the 600 section (written by yours truely) http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,1719.msg13015.html#msg13015

The Gen1 is more or less identical and uses the same bulbs :)

Done this today with blue LED but must admit they seem a bit dim compared with the std green lights, bought these ones off flea bay

so I might try and get some brighter ones if possible?

Blue is nice but unless they are super bright they can be difficult to read at night
