has anyone worked out a list to convert stern Spider-Man to LEDs?

IMHO just buy:
a saver bag of sunlight white wedge 555
&
A saver bag of sunlight white in bayonets 44/47
Colour matching is overrated, and time consuming! Plus different colours have different brightness (e.g. white vs yellow), so using the same bulbs under the inserts keeps your inserts at a consistent brightness level.
Sunlights whites are universally useful too.
SM needs an OCD board for LEDs, and some minor fettling. If you don't use it then you'll need antighosting bulbs, otherwise buy the simpler type. I use the 2smd frosted.
You may want some green GI bayoneted and flashers for the goblin area though, I'm not a monster...

↑ spot on info.
+1 on the sunlight for GI. They are the best for GI.

I can't agree completely with that advice, some colours don't look much different if colour matched or not but some benefit, blue in particular looks really washed out if not colour matched. Green looks better colour matched too. Definitely easier to just install white though admittedly.
Whatever you do, don't colour match yellow LED with yellow insert!

Yellow Led's in general are really under powered compared with all other colours so look very dim in comparison.
They don't illuminate very well and looks dull from above the playfield. Put bright white under yellow inserts for the best effect.
I agree
But with Neil's time constraints i felt a universal approach would still be more than acceptable. Red inserts also look more 'red' with a red LED, it's just how far do you go. LED it with whites, then if you want later you can take them out and replace on a per-colour basis and reuse them elsewhere.Just trying to save myself sometime
As long as you NEVER buy yellow LEDs
I've just done my Iron Man with all whites for the inserts and it looks great. I don't see a real need to colour match unless you'rte really fussy. You could put coloured ones under clear inserts if you wanted to change a few up, I found TWD pro a bit too white as most inserts are clear so changed a few of those around and it looked great.

are the sunlight whites like the same colour that Stern use in their machines? I like the stern LED feel in GB/TWD and batman.
Made that mistake before. Just bin the yellow ones. They should never be included in a kit Mr. PinballLED
