Actually, you wouldn't want to do that. Unlike conventional bulbs, LEDs emit light in specific wavelengths, rather than across a continuous spectrum. Therefore you always want to match the LED color to the lens it will be behind. Putting a white LED behind a colored lens loses you a lot more light output than a comparative incandescent bulb behind the same lens. That's one of the reasons I had hoped they'd come out with a yellow LED version of the Luxeon housings.
