Richard,
There have been instances reported were the contacts on the back of some of this type of LED lights have arced across the medal coated reflector in the light socket. This should not be a problem though because if that is a possibility on the LEDs that you install, just remove the reflector from the socket since it is not needed with LEDs.

If you are looking for something cooler, I replaced the center row of Halogen bulbs in my Marque with an LED similar to the one shown below.  It's not as bright as the halogen blubs, but good enough for general lighting.  Its great for dry camping, it uses almost no electricity.

Just installed (3) of these LED's I bought to see how they looked. I like them and after a trip to Tucson this coming weekend, I will most likely replace the rest. The only issue was installing them as the two pins are slightly bigger than the stock lamps and I had to really work to get them in the socket!

I just installed the "warm White" ones shown here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/110856235473?var=410102522956&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 The price is right and they look very close to the halogens.  The only problem is that most of the fixtures had to be rewired to correct the polarity.  These fixtures are polarity specific, so it's hit or miss as to how yours are wired.
