Herbert,

try http://www.lsdiodes.com for .60USD white LEDs.  They are fast and
cheap.

Also, don't forget for tail and running lights -- only red lenses across
the rear and only amber along the sides in the US.  I'm not sure of the
legality of some of the LED dodads people are selling now, but some of
them look pretty neat.

If you are looking for big bags of LEDs, keep an eye on Ebay.  But, a
lot of those come directly from Hong Kong so shipping could be iffy.

Bill

Subject: [EE:] Source for bright LEDs


Looking to replace the indicator lights on my car with LEDs (why?
because I can... :) ).

Anyways, I tried some of the LEDs available locally to me but they
aren't bright enough.

Anybody know of a CHEAP source of BRIGHT red and orange LEDs?

I'd love to use white LEDs (MAN are they bright) but that's just too
expensive.

Prefer T1-3/4 size (5mm). I'm in Canada. Thanks for any leads.

TTYL
