<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Courier New" size=4>I am on this list because I have no
other place to turn. Does any one know where the owner of "The House of Science"
went? Or maybe someone who worked there with the same knowledge of
LED's? (he also had fun with round magnets in an aluminum tube, who said
aluminum is not magnetic) I have now built a set of taillights in clear
lenses that burn red for my street rod. I really like the look, have had many
positive comments. One is "Can you build me a pair?" and right now I have to say
"no" as I do not have the part numbers or source to order the clear LED's that
burn red. I have two sizes, one is a large LED and I would like to find a source
for more, as well as the smaller LED's. I have the resistors, and since they are
color coded, it is fairly easy to get them. But what of the LED's? Can I get the
same that burn amber or yellow?? Someone, please, Help... I need parts to finish
my street rod. Possibly start my nephew in a small business of his
own.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

electronics geek, I am way over my head in this, but it sure is fun..... also, I
am 63 years young, and still learning.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
