The stock LED lighting
They are way too in the blue spectrum for our liking.

Ideally these lights should have a built-in dimmer and a "bright to warm" adjustment dial.

Have any of you replaced these and if so did you find warmer lights?

Have you checked to see if the bulbs are removable? If so, switching from the cool white to either daylight or warm white bubs should be more acceptable.
If not, changing fixtures is the other solution.

I recently replaced all the LED under-cabinet lights in my rig with these lights. Their brightness is adjustable by turning a knob, and there are three color temperature settings--cold, "natural," and warm--set by clicking the knob, which is also used to turn them on or off.

They remember their brightness and color settings even if power is interrupted, meaning you can use them on a switched circuit and they won't just revert to some default when you turn them on with a wall switch. At maximum brightness setting, they're brighter than the LED lights (supplied by Airstream) that they replaced. The 180 LEDs they contain are spread over two large areas, so they don't heat up, and they give a very soft, even light.

They're about the same size and shape as the center fixture in your photo, Ted, so installation is not a big deal.

And they're currently going for $11.49 a pair. That's cheaper than most LED replacement bulbs, and the result is a much better light that you can tailor to your needs. At six bucks each, you'd expect them to be cheap and flimsy, but they're not. They're well designed and well made.

Having used them for several months now, I'm very happy with them. The only minor drawback is that turning them off requires holding the knob in for a second--otherwise you find yourself toggling among the three color settings. This took me a couple of weeks to get used to.

I have swapped the bulb in the oval fixture.  Remove the plastic cover by sliding it towards the outside edge and you'll see the led panel.  It's held in place by a small screw.  You should be able to source a different color bulb once you see the led format.

I didn't buy the bulb itself, but I did add a couple of these Amazon.com: Diamond Group 65429 Slim Line Single LED Dome Light : Automotive over my toilet and in the overhead cab area.  The led panel on these is brighter than the ones installed by LD and I ended up swapping the panel for the one in the shower so I could get the brighter light there.

I'm not sure how to remove the bulb cover on the round ones.

I bought some new panels at Quartzsite a couple years ago for the larger lights.  They were not quite a perfect fit and needed a little trimming of the screw in base.  I was able to get warmer modules.   IMO the round ones are woefully inadequate for reading.  The center rotates to drop the light unit.   I bought a box of 4 of Andy's suggestion and will replace one of the round ones where I read, once I locate the required round 'tuit'.   ;)
