quick question about LED's

I am looking at buying some 5mm and 3mm red LED's for my interior and have a question...

which is brighter 4000mcd or 14000mcd?? which would be better for interior conversion (window switches, shift lights etc..)?

14,000 is brighter than the 4000, 4000 is probably sufficient for the inside.

nismos is right...but I wouldnt go with the 4000mcd...I had "10,000mcd" white leds in my old angel eyes and after I replaced them with "20,000mcd" the difference was amazing.
personally, 4,000 mcd sounds kind of dim to me

Hmmm, I just ordered some 15500 mcd while LED's for my gauge lights and center console lights.

I should probably change it to something less powerful, to the 6200 mcd white bulb they offer.
