Default LED indicators

I'm looking for a source of small LED indicator lights for my panel available in various colors.

Any one know of a source for stuff like this?

Since your talking LEDs, I came recently came across these and have installed them in a few friend's airplanes. They come in green, red and yellow: No resistor required.

If you want to add a resistor, they have blue too.

Here's the LED home page which includes some nice LED strip lighting which I've played with using this dimmer (works GREAT and inexpensive!) Rosie

Hi Rosie, That's a great source - they have lots of cool stuff that I often had to order from Hong Kong to get reasonable prices. Thanks!
