LED question, can I use any LED?

ledshoppe.com is the cheapest place I can find for leds.

They sell 3mm 5mm 10mm leds and I'm planning on modding my TL with blue leds.

Will they work with my TL and if so which size and brightness do i have to buy?

there are actually several threads out there detailing this. the word LED won't return a search since it's only 3 letters, but if you type in "conversion" or "dash" or some combination like those you will find them.

no problem man. concerning LED quality, think it like this: you buy some neons on ebay for 10 bucks a pair. they have shitty construction and poor color quality. you buy some LEDs on ebay for 10 bucks for 3 dozen and they too will be made of lesser materials (hence shorter lives) and have less vibrant color. believe me, it pays to get better ones the first time.
