After thinking about this for a minute, I realised that the 7-line
doesn't have white reflectors. The gold-colored anodising on the
aluminum chassis must be having the same effect. Soooo .... who wants
to take a can of spray paint to thier TR7 and report back?  :)

I like the LED replacements for the 7-line mostly because of the PITA
factor of pulling the DR7 to change the PTO lamp. That's a recipe for
disaster if I've ever seen one.
