I bought one of each of the above LEDs but I haven't gotten around to installing them behind my case badge yet. It's currently got a 1000mcd blue LED behind it, but the white should look much better. Be prepared for the A4 sheet of safety precautions that come with white LEDs though
what, with warnings like "don't burn it out 'cos it's really expensive to replace" etc etc? or is it just in 27 different languages? or is there something I should know?
i blew some LED's once. only problem with haluminium cases wasnt a pretty smell to it either. bout 12 LED's all went at same time blue ones too. had to stick original LED's back in but i got some bloo ones on the way should be here tomorrow morning.
