eBay. I bought 100 led's for $15 shipped. bought some from user lckwtc. They are based in Hong Kong but the bright white led's i bought for my sidemarkers are great. They are bright, and have nice viewing angle. Led's are inexpensive, i don't know why some websites sell white led's for like 80 cents a piece. Rip off !

What are you trying to do ?
Also depends on how you want to wire them. Parallel or series ?

you can only do so many in a series cause you are limited to 14volts. ussually 3 is a safe number(can do more with amber or red, white/blue use more juice); then do the series of 3 in parralel with each other. www.besthongkong.com is my source of choice. shipping can take a month or longer; but Ive had great experience with them, much better than superbrightled IME.

really in truely, if you are looking for the greatest selection and great pricing, mouser.com is the best place i've found. that is where i bought my led's for my interior conversion.

Sounds good. Let us know your progress. I would be interested to know how you plan on doing this. Obviously, a series only circuit wouldn't work and wouldn't be the best idea anyhow. But, definitely check with those people on ebay i recommended. They took about 10 days to deliver from Hong Kong. Keep up posted !
