conversion of sin to cos

Hello all,

Here is my problem. I have a very long product of cosines with
arguments of the form k*Pi, k being integers.
I want to convert this expression to a sum of cosines. TrigReduce
works fine, except that it converts cos to sin.
So, I want all the sin (after the TrigReduce) to be converted to cos
and the arguments be of the form p*Pi, p being rational of course.
It has something to do with Hold or HoldAll, but I don't know the
details. Or perhaps the TrigReduce can be overridden
somehow.
Can someone help?
Thank's for your time.
