Wow, great write up. I have been looking into getting this done, but was hoping to find an article like this. Can I ask where you bought the leds? I want to use the same type but in red and want to make sure I am using the right stuff. Thanks.

I got the LED's off of Ebay...I've used a conpany out of Hong Kong for years...I'll get the site and post it for you

This is the Ebay LED's in red:
NEW 50X SMD SMT PLCC-2 Red LEDs 800mcd F/S - (eBay item 250073401387 end time Jan-09-08 02:36:02 PST)


Just know that these LED's are 800's and not 500's, this just means they'll be a bit brighter than the blue ones. IMO this will work better than the 500 mcd blue ones. This is a really good company too
