    Chi-Wing LEDs manufacturer direct.

    You can usually get 100 LEDs for $8-$12 w/ free shipping. All items are in bulk sale and come directly from China (so you do have to wait 2 weeks some times). But it's well worth the wait. On my last order I got 50 3mm superbright RED LEDs for $12

    yeah, the only thing about the cars is just dont make them look like neons, cuz those are illegal (dont put them anywhere but the taillights, its a distraction to drivers if they are under the chassis, for instance)

    Man, those are damn cheap. really, I might have to buy a few hundred of those and line my room walls with them. that would be sick


    edit

    and they're against TCPA!

    LSdiodes are great

    Always had good service from them and never had any troubles with import tax.

    True you can get more for less on ebay but from lsdiodes you always get the quality.

    I checked them out on ResellerRatings and they have a good rank, but not many comments so far. Maybe some of you could add on to what's there? They're just up the road from me too. Probably one day delivery if I am too lazy to pick it up for an hour's round trip.

    I saw some red LEDs being used on a newer model of the car I have. It was a single row of red ones in the middle of the back. It really got your attention that the breaks were on. Does this mean I can modify my car? :dremel:

    :lol:

    omg lol i just went on best hong kong led ebay store, and the leds are 9 cents when u buy in bulk (over 1k) so you could make a solid case of LEDS for about 260$ per square foot of wall, but each square foot would need
    3600 x 20ma = 70 AMPS of power to run at full brightness. I think you would go blind lol
