Ok, so i know you need the tiny surface mount kind like these:

But I don't really care to mess with buying stuff, I know lazy

Anyway is there anything that one could find lying around the house that uses these? You know so I could just salvage them?

Thx

I would recommend buying some leds. If you are not good with soldering, you may screw up the leds while you desolder them.

Yea I'd say just buy them it's better to not be lazy than ruining leds from something else.

You should go to www.unique-leds.com This is the best place and they have really cheap prices plus they ship super fast.

Thanks for the replies guys. I figured that would probably be the answer, to buy that is, but hey why not check.

Thx
