LED Source

Does anybody know an online retailer that sells tri-coloured blue/red/purple leds. I've spent a while searching but only managed to find the green/red/orange ones. If any body could help me with this I would be most grateful.
Cheers

they got all colors and a couple sizes, wire and resistors for ALOT cheaper than radio shack. plus cheap shipping b/c they send it via regular mail (takes a little longer though).

One Quick Question?

Thanks very much, this is exactly what I was looking for. One quick question tho, I always assumed that the leds in the power/eject switch on the xbox where tri-color but after reading the descriptions of the there leds its the bi-color leds that have 3 legs and the tri-color have 4 legs. Dont suppose you know which of this is in the xbox. Again many thanks for this.

if you want Blue/Red/Purple, get the Bi Colored Blue / Read from lsdiodes. they have 3 legs just like the stock XBOX LEDs. they are a direct replacment and look great. just make sure you put them in the right way.

I have had the switch off before, I think the cathode and anode are clearly marked, but which is "normally" switched on, top or botton. I guess I can also switch it in the X3 bios if I get it reversed.

eh, i guess i did it the hard way, i used 4 3mm leds, 2 on each side of the switch and grounded them at the same point, but oh well, still works
