Supercomputer illuminated door sills repair...does anyone know the type of LED used?

my illuminated door sills are blue and the LED on one side is going out, anyone know what type of LED it's called? I want to replace it with the same one or something similar.
Thank you

you need to get one from this vendor in 3cm wide (https://www.etsy.com/listing/1538855...arious-glowing). however the color may be completely different so if i were you i'd just get all four done at the same time. it's called EL tape. also as a heads up, you may need to redo the inverter wiring and use some copper connectors to make it all work.

in other words, it's much more work than just replacing. follow this write up for details, especially post 4: https://acurazine.com/forums/third-g...-sills-921417/
