blue led for alarm?

anyone changed their red flashing led car alarm to blue? i know one Clifford G5 alarm come with blue led, i dont know where to get the led itself not buying the whole alarm kit.

i searched on eBay, but just some cheap one like Varad. any good brands that compatible with my Clifford alarm?

thanks,

just go to an electronics store and find a blue LED with a gromet (sp?) that looks the same as your old LED.. take it out, splice the wires and there ya go.. blue alarm LED..

radio shack might work...

Radio Shack, there are two different intensities (and infared ones also) the nicer bright ones are 2.35$ here and it works like a charm.

$2.50 ~2.99 at Radio shack's only a light bulb with 2 metal attached with it, doesnt come with wires, how can you plug that in.

heres my alarm led look like, Clifford Arrow 3~, i was lookin for some Blue led wire that plug right in the original wire.


thanks,

test the LED.. if you look into the bulb, at the little filaments (sp, and i dont know if thats the right term..), (and i'm not 100% positive on this.. havent done this for a while) the smaller side should be the positive side... but like i said, buy more than one if you want to test it...

I've been looking for a blue LED as well. My brother had an alarm system with a Blue Strobing LED that was really bright and placed behind his rear view mirror. I asked him what company made his alarm, but he doesn't know cuz his friend (whom he bought the car off of) had put it in. Does anyone know what brand alarm this is? Or if it isn't part of a specific alarm system, what brand accessory? It is like a triangular white piece of plastic that has two or three fairly large rectangular LEDS that strobe.
Thanks
