Does radioshack have em? I don't to go all the way to the sack only to find that they don't carry 3mm Blue and White ones.

OR

Does anyone know a good online retailer of white and blue LEDs? Preferably in the U.S.

The best online site i found so far is....

www.superbrightleds.com

They all typically run on the 3.7 typical volts...so any watch battery is decent. Also they have multi intensitys depending on the viewing angle...I would use like 15-18 degree for head lights, and maybe 30 degree LEDs for a neon underglow...remember from the real customizers world...if you can see the source of the light from the glow...you lose.

binaryterror, those leds are a little big. Even with the 3mm leds, I couldn't get them to fit right. Underglow is a little difficult to get right on a bit.

d00kie, yes RS is expensive for white/blue leds. White/blue leds are the most expensive leds. Have you tried Wedginator's link? That's a really good price for white/blue leds.
