does anyone know where i can buy the LEDs that are available on the lilliput. i was hoping to get the exact same cool blue color, though it should be powerful enough to glow bright (i was hoping to replace all the stock white lights on the dash console and the a/c panel..

thanks

Just use standard LED's, the ones specifically on the Lilliput are SMT and would not be suitable for your dash. I've replaced mine with a mixture of 5mm and 3mm ones and matches well enough. Don't forget the resistor to drop the voltage though.

I bought 20 blue ones off of ebay a year ago..

blue ones ar ethe most expensive as far as LED's go .. ebay is the cheapest I've seen them.. radio shack has them too.. but at $4/ea
