I tend to get them from ebay, use the correct coloor led for the light as sometimes the colour is way wrong eg using a white led can make red look pink (good fro harleys and Hodnas)
Also if the Leds are mounted on white plastic this can be seen reflected back in sunlight, I have used a black sharpie to reduce this in the past

I have used these, but as already mentioned they are bright and distort the lens colours somewhat. Good shout re getting coloured bulbs Taffus.
