Where to get some 12v LEDs in the Seattle Area
 

Wondering if there was a good electronics store in the greater seattle area where i could pick up some bright 12 volt LEDs. I went to RadioShack and to Frys Electronics but they didnt really have much of a selection, all they had for 12 volt was red and yellow, and i am trying to replace my burned out climate control backlighting in my 240, since the original bulbs are nissan parts, not standard 194 wedge bulbs like normal cars. I bought a red led but it wasnt bright enough for backlighting. I could just replace it with a standard minibulb but where is the fun in that, and i dont really want to order them offline because i dont want to have my dash apart for a week or more waiting for it to come in the mail, or put it all back together just to tear the unit apart again. Soooooo......

Any good electronic stores i should try that might carry a desent sized selection of 12v LEDs in the Greater Seattle Area???

I am looking for LEDs with the metal leads like this:

Bingo, just get any old LED and a resistor. That's how I got my vtak light wired up
