I found it interesting to learn that these are called Festoon Bulbs. I don't know why I do, but I like that word.
Today, I took the 5 minutes needed and installed them. Here's what they looked like with the LED Bulb put in:
Here's what it looked like Hanging Loose:

So, these are significantly brighter. The light is White light though not the soft yellow of a incandescent bulb. These use less energy (1 Watt as opposed to 10 Watts) and won't ever burn out or suffer from vibration.
Not sure if I like the White Light though. I have to think about that one.
That's about it.

Could you put yellow cellophane between the light and the diffuser ?
Could definitely try that.
Nice work Casey. I wish you were closer to the west side of Illinois (Hamilton). I'm all alone in bus land over here.
Keep up the great work on your bus. You can adapt a Type 1 thermostat if you can't find one for a type 4. See germansupply.com for a tech article on that.
