www.lc-led.com

depending on the color and how many you want changes the price but they roughly go for 1.35 each if you get less than 99. hope this helps good luck!

here is the ones i THINK you need, BUT CHECK THE FORUMS TO MAKE SURE.

you may have to look on ebay.co.uk to try and get purple, there is a thread about PINK he said he has a link for the pink ones, he may have purple ones also. Check it out though

yes they are soldering if you are going to do the gauge and HVAC control mod

BlackSandPtC - depends on what you wanna do. If you just wanna do all your gauges white with no other color then you are going to need 14 LEDs for just gauges. If you wanna do your HVAC controls also, all together you will need 30 LEDs

not to be mean or anything but people will jump all over you for this, there is a little red button at the top of your screen, its the search buttone, that will become your new best friend.

But here is the DIY for this and the HVAC controls:

nd4spd....i think i saw purple on my quest for the pink smds...but i can't find them. The only way i can find now is to go directly to a supplier in China. And you'd have to mass order. If you want that link, i'm in the process of finding it.

Man, if i wasn't a poor college student...I'd start up a store here in the US for all of the rare leds. It'd definately make a profit.

Do most shops do these types of things? My fiance's brother owns a shop and asked me to print out the DIY for him but from how he was talking, he didn't have a clue how to do it.. even with the DIY.

BlackSand...i believe that is the same. It's the right size and everything....however, don't go off the specs listed on that. I've noticed with a lot of stores on ebay, they have a generic set of specs. And they have those specs for pretty much all leds even 3mm/5mm. But based off of the size, and look, i'd say they are the same.

amanda, i'm not sure a lot of shops do this type of mod, unless they have an electrician on their crew. But i'm sure there are SOME shops that do do this.
