Any generic electronic solder will work such as the stuff you get radio shack. Honestly the best way is to smooth out the old solder after the LED is removed, put flux over the whole area, then align the new LED on the pads. Hold the LED down gently with tweezers or something, and then apply heat to the tiny bit of the solder pads still sticking out. This should reflow the old solder onto the pads. You shouldn't need to add solder unless something is slightly askew.
