Where do you get your LEDs?

[WP7456]

I have been looking for a good place to buy some LED's for the interior of my 00'. It seems to me that Ebay would be the best place but I'm cautious of the overseas sellers. Anybody know any specific sellers on Ebay or any other online/retail stores? thanks

i buy ALL mine on ebay their the cheapest, and usually from hong kong it just takes 2 or 4 days longer to get them
in the seach type in which size led (5mm or 10mm) and what color (white or blue) them click price low to high, them click buy it now (to refine search)

also make sure they come with resistors so you dont have to go buy some

Okay, do these seem legit? I don't know if they have resistors or not, but it seems like a great deal.. I guess I should ask the seller if they do. If not, how much do they cost? None of the listings on Ebay ever say what brand, so hopefully that isn't too big of a deal.

these ones are pre-made so all you have to do is hook them up to a power source, if you wanted to make your own leds search in the performance lighting section. for about $10 you could make 20 of those, wont look as pretty but most of the time their hidden

here are some link to help you

i buy mine from besthongkong.com, fast delivery, plus i like being able to actually look at all the tech specs of the LEDs

on most of the ebay ones they will show specs too

http://cgi.ebay.com/25-pcs-5mm-Cyan...ryZ66948QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem you linked that seller in one of those other threads, and it looks like a sick deal. If I got the 25 5mm LEDs with the resistors, what other materials will I need to buy, if any. Like do I need any extra wires to hook them up? thanks.

wire, solder, soldering iron, perfboard, dikes/wire cutters you can get most of this stuff at wal-mart, but get perfboard @ radioshack

oznium.com is the best place i think

ebay is the best bang for the buck

I order mine from Best Hong Kong.. they have a website (besthongkong.com), but you can also buy on eBay, which is what I do.
