Can't speak Dutch, but I want mine to be blue now!!

[vmail]

I probably have the instructions done by friday

[Moffmo]

think the filter method works better as you dont see the circles in the middle...

[breezer]

hmmmm!! id go for red :D

[knightrider]

yeah LEDS are fine but need a diffuser the circles look abit naff

[vmail]

where do I get diffusers from?

I hate maplins

their LEDs are not bright

they dont do 3mm or 5mm 12V in blue

first they tell me that they have 2 3mm 12V blue in Salford and 21 in Cheetham hill, they later I find out they dont do em at all

[sera_beetle]

what about demon tweeks?

[vmail]

nope couldnt find any

[Moffmo]

av a look on eBay?

[vmail]

the only ones on eBay

"These are amazingly bright LEDs with an intensity of 5000 mcd!! They come supplied with 470 Ohm resistors for 12V working at NO EXTRA CHARGE"

there is no room for the resistors
