A:Answer I just bought this microwave last month.
The cooktop lights are 20 watt halogen lights, that have the two pronged type fittings, not your normal screw-in bulbs that older microwaves has.
They run very hot, and are a soft-white color.
Luckily, I was able to find some LED replacements on Amazon, that are bright white, and are actually cool to the touch.
