I have just got my new headunit (Alpine CDA-7894RB) and that illuminates blue.
I decided that I am going to convert all my dash illumination (including heater controls) to be illuminated by blue leds.
I have a trade account with a local electronic wholesale company but they still want £3+ ($4.5) each for blue super bright LED's(3000mcd).
Blue and white are both the same price yet the red,green and yellow are all 1/10th of the price and are 30p (45c) each.
Are they a simular price in the US or are they cheaper?
I know they sell them on e-bay and yes they go for even stupider money.
Anyone got any ideas where I can get them from cheap?
I am going to get some spare bulb holders and modify them to take the LED and the dropper resistor so they are easy to fit etc and the 3 bulbs that light the front of the speedo/revcounter I was going to use white and blacklight LEDS and paint the needles with U/V paint so they glow!!
