The LED circuitry would be quite easy, the main thing you need to consider are the regulations. I know here in the UK there is a restriction on the maximum power that can be used in light systems, although I am sure that LEDs would not contravene that. Your choice of LED would affect the quantity you need, or vice vera, the quantity you want to use would affect your choice of LED, and the quantity affects the way they are wired.
In general terms I would choose to have as many as possible /practical, and each having a wide viewing angle.
If you were to drill the original "lens" then you would have to seal each LED to stop water getting into the housing (the LEDs will be OK exposed to the elements), if you want to fit them behind the "lens" you will somehow need to find a clear replacement lens.
Just my initial thoughts, electrically easy, but some serious thought before starting.
Cluster assmblies of LEDs are available, e.g. Kingbright BL0101-15-33 (26 mm dia) and BL0307-50-44 (52 mm dia)

Edit. Just read Gomers post, that would definately be the easiest option, but probably more expensive.
