If you have a 95-99, then click on the link in my sig and it will tell you the part number at Radio Shack for blue, but they are just 5V LEDs in any color you want. . . If you have a 2K+, then I wouldn't recommend trying this as the only person I know who has tried this has fried a relay because somehow they are different. 97+ can't have the rears switched out to coodinate at this point in time, although a few people are working on it.

You used a 5V? How much brighter is that than the 3.7V? I used a 3.7 in my security LED and although it's bright, I wonder if I can put a 5V in there.

I used 5 V just to be safe. . . I ran the stock voltage through a voltmeter and it was around the 3.7 range, so I didn't want to push it, the 5V can also take more current. These are what my LEDs in the window switches currently look like:


They are bright enough, but I would expect that they aren;t as bright as a 3.7 volt LED would be if only 3.7 volts are going through the LED. BTW the white ones are 3.7 volts in the pic about as they don't make 5V white ones yet.
