Ground Effects Underglow LED
I was wondering if anyones taken appart the Gen 1 Underglow Kit? I'm curious if any of you know which kind of LED is in there? For that matter where I can buy a similar one to swap them?
Basically I have an Idea that seems easy, just remove the LED from the underglow kit and place the same kind, but different color. If anyone can identify the type of LED or forward me to a thread where this has been answered I'll appreaciated it. ~-)--------

I'm not sure about the kinda, but it's gonna be a 1.5v LED, and take it out, go to RadioShack and find one of similar size. It's flat, but it can be smaller, same size or bigger. If it's bigger it's just to cut away some material, just be careful not to cut too much.

I didn't think the underglow kit actually had your regular run-of-the-mill type of LED's in it, my understanding of it was that it was two pieces of plastic that had metal contacts running through them that when you applied current to lit up, so:
-------------- | | X | | X | | | | X | | X | | | | X | | X | | | | X | | X | | | | X | | X | | | | X | | X | | -------------- With | X | indicating the strip of plastic that reacts the electrical current and lights up, I'm sure one of the electrical gurus can give us a better explanation but my understanding is you can not change the color of an undnerglow kit.
